==== Byzantine Empire ==== * Sultan [[Tughril]] leads a large [[Seljuk Empire|Seljuk]] army out of [[Azerbaijan]] into [[Armenia]], possibly to consolidate his frontier, while providing an incentive to his [[Turkic people|Turkoman]] allies in the form of plunder. Tughril divides his army into four columns, ordering three to veer off to the north to raid into central and northern Armenia, while he takes the fourth column towards [[Lake Van]]. The [[Seljuq dynasty|Seljuk Turks]] capture and sack the fortress city of [[ErciΕ|Artchesh]], after an 8-day siege.<ref>Brian Todd Carey (2012).
