What is Khorasan Wars?
'''Khorasan Wars''' were a series of battles that took place in the early [[1580s]] in the cities of [[Mashhad]], [[Nishapur]], [[Torbat Heydarieh]] and other regions of [[Khorasan]]. These wars broke out due to the challenges between the ''Shamlu'' and ''Stajalu'' clans (supporting Abbas the Great) and the ''Teklo'' and ''Turkmen'' (supporting king Mohammad Khodabandeh) clans. Khorasan conflicts were a beginning to the coming to power of [[Abbas the Great]] and his kingdom.<ref>{{Cite book|url=|title= The Life of Shah Abbas I|last=Falsafi|first= Nasrollah|page= Pages:79 - 81|date=2012|publisher= Negah|isbn=978-9-643-51726-7|language=fa}}</ref> Abbas Mirza (later title: [[Abbas the Great]]) fought with [[Ali Qali Beg Gurkan Shamlu]] in Khorasan wars, the siege of Neishabur Castle, the siege of Torbat Castle and the Battle of Tirpul against his father king [[Muhammad Khodabande]] (current king).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131109105422/http://bukharamag.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/02/%D8%A7%DA%AF%D8%B1%D9%87%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%B3%D8%B1%D9%86%D9%88%D8%B4%D8%AA-%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%B2.pdf ... میان علیقلیخان و مرتضی‌قلی‌خان،... که از گذشته ... ترکمان و تکلو وجود داشت، .... به مشهد کشید و آن را محاصره ...] (in [[Persian language|Persian]]) ''منوچهر پارسادوست، مجله فرهنگی هنری بخارا'' * </ref> ==Resources== {{reflist}} [[Category:1580s]] [[Category:History of Iran]]
