Battles / warsKhazar-Arab Wars

A Khazar general active in the Khazar-Arab Wars of the early 8th century.[1] It is unclear whether "Alp Tarkhan" is a name or a title. The Old Turkic word Alp means hero, and was an element in such names as Alp Arslan, but could also be used as a title for a victorious general. Similarly, Tarkhan or "warlord" could be used as both a personal name and a military rank.
