History
The most recent information on the history of Horasan is based on Atatürk University research and documentary producer Tekin Gün's notes, doing research at the district. It appears that the first traces of civilization in the district having remains of the Bronze Age point to the place's history from the year of 4000 B.C. Holding a strategic role in the East–West connection via the Silk Road, the location of Horasan is home to ancient settlements and was a scene to early civil advancements. It is predicted that Horasan is the origin of the Aryan people spreading to India and Iran. Various Turkic peoples under Göktürk and Hunnic rule, as well as the Mogols, immigrated to Horasan after the invasions of the Arabs and Genghis Khan. In following years, the land saw Roman, Assyrian, Urartu, Median and Persian, Sasani, Arabic and Byzantine invasions, according to written archives.[5]
