| Aanvullende informatie |
Ani served as the Bagratid Armenian capital from around 961 AD and at its peak housed a population estimated between 100,000 and 200,000 — making it one of the largest cities in the medieval world, rivaling Constantinople and Baghdad. The city fell to the Seljuk Turks under Alp Arslan in 1064 after a siege of roughly three weeks, an event that effectively ended Bagratid rule and scattered the Armenian nobility across Anatolia and beyond.
The ruins sit in present-day eastern Turkey near the Armenian border, a geopolitical reality that charges any Armenian commemorative of Ani with obvious political weight. The 1050th anniversary reckoning dates the foundation to approximately 961 AD, when King Ashot III relocated the capital from Kars.
