Bu çalışmada Sultan Alp Arslan’ın (1063-1072) saltanatı dönemindeki ilk askerî seferi, yani Huttelan seferi ele alınmıştır. Huttelan, kabaca Ceyhun ile Seyhun nehirleri arasında kalan Maveraünnehir bölgesinin güneydoğusunda, günümüzde Tacikistan sınırları içerisinde yer alan tarihî bir yerdir. MÖ 2. binin başlarından itibaren çeşitli kavimlere ev sahipliği yapan Huttelan’a Türkler de çok eski devirlerden itibaren yerleşmiştir. Kayıtlara göre; Milat 8. Asrın ortalarına kadar burası, sırasıyla İskitler, Yüe-çiler, Kuşanlar, Akhunlar, Gök-Türkler ve Türgişler gibi birçok Türk topluluğunun hâkimiyeti altına girmiş bir bölgedir. Öyle ki bu sebeple Arap coğrafyacıları da burayı çok eski bir Türk bölgesi olarak göstermişlerdir. 8. asrın son çeyreğinde Emevîler’in egemenliği altına giren Huttelan, daha sonra Abbasîler, Samanîler ve Gazneliler’in hükmettiği bir eyalet olmuş, Selçuklular’ın Dandanakan’da Gazneliler’e karşı galip gelmesinin (1040) hemen akabinde ise Selçuklular’ın eline geçmiştir. Meliklik döneminde Alp Arslan’ın idare ettiği bölgeler arasında yer alan Huttelan, vasallık statüsünde olup bir emir tarafından idare edilmiştir. Ancak bu emir, Alp Arslan’ın tahta çıktığı sıradaki karışıklıkları fırsat bilerek Selçuklular’a karşı isyan etmiştir. Bunun üzerine Sultan Alp Arslan, bölgeye 12 Eylül-15 Kasım (1063) arasındaki bir günde başlayıp 1063 yılının Aralık ayı ortalarında son bulan bir askerî sefer düzenlemiştir. Sefer neticesinde Huttelan emiri öldürülmüş ve burası doğrudan Selçuklu Devleti merkezine bağlanmıştır.
In this study, the first military expedition of Sultan Alp Arslan (1063-1072) during his reign, namely the Huttalan expedition, was discussed. Huttalan is a historical place located in the southeast of the Fararood region, roughly between the Ceyhun and Seyhun rivers, within the borders of present-day Tajikistan. Turks also settled in Huttalan, which was home to various tribes from the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC. According to the records, until the 8th century BC, this place was dominated by many Turkish communities such as Scythians, Yü-chih, Kushans, Hephthalites, Gokturks and Turgeshs. Thus, Arab geographers have shown this place to be a very old Turkish region. Huttalan, which came under the rule of the Umayyads in the last quarter of the 8th century, later became a province ruled by the Abbasids, Samanids and Ghaznavals, and immediately after the Seljuks' victory over the Ghaznavids in Danadanakan (1040), it passed into the hands of the Seljuks. Huttalan, which was among the regions ruled by Alp Arslan during the Meliks period, was in the status of a vassal and was administered by an order. However, this order rebelled against the Seljuks when Alp Arslan ascended the throne, knowing the confusion. Then, Sultan Alp Arslan organized a military expedition to the region that began between September 12 and November 15 (1063) and ended in mid-December of 1063. As a result of the expedition, the Emir of Huttalan was killed and this place was directly connected to the center of the Seljuk State.
