Central Asiatic Journal, 54(2), 273-290.0008-9192https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/25320The Seljuk period has been significant in the urban history of Anatolia because it marked the inception of Turkish-Islamic colonization and urbanization processes in the region. With the establishment of the Anatolian Seljuk State in the early 12th century, Turks became actively involved in shaping the settlement patterns of Anatolia. The Anatolian Seljuk State was not merely a tribal confederation composed of Turcoman nomadic groups or subgroups originating from Central Asia and Iran; it also represented a synthesis of Christian-Byzantine social, cultural, and economic institutions with the social and cultural values derived from the sedentary or nomadic lifestyles of the Turks migrating from Central Asia and Iran to Anatolia.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle542273290N/AWOS:000287419700006N/A
