Kars 3780.jpg

A viewer translated the text as (I added some words to make it more English): "Ani Castle and Kars were conquered by the Great Seljuk Governer Alparslan in 1064, who defeated the Byzantines in the Malazgirt Battle and opened the door to Anatolia to the Turks."

The writing on the monument says:
"Ani Castle and Kars was conquered by Great Seljuk Governer ALPARSLAN in 1064, who defeated Byzantines in Malazgirt Battle and opened the door to Anatolia to Turks."
