Summary/Abstract: The Seljuks, who returned to the west from its foundation, followed the policy of a systematic conquest, and turned Anatolia into Turkish homeland. The fate of the Turkish communities, who wanted to establish their dominance both in Turkestan and Turkestan, was always dependent on the victories of the Turkish armies on the battlefields. For this reason, the Turkish armies have won great victories that change the course of history and determine the destiny of Turkishness. One of the most important turning points of Turkish History is the victory of 1071 Malazgirt and the other is the 17th September 1176 Myriokephalon.
