History
Ağrı has old settlements such as Doğubeyazıt and Patnos, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages and the Islamic period. Over a long period of time, the region became part of the Urartians, the Achaemenid Empire, the Macedonian Empire founded by Alexander, the Seleucids, and the Armenian Kingdom, which recognized Persian and Roman domination for many years.
With the Islamic conquests that began after the death of Prophet Muhammad in 632, the region came under Muslim rule. The Muslims took this region from the Armenians and the Iranians (Sassanid Empire) and attached it to their own caliphate, and managed to have a say in the region for a long time. The first Muslims to settle in the region were settled in 872 during the Abbasid period.
The city came under Seljuk rule from the Byzantine rule for a short time after the 1048 Battle of Kaperton. The Mongols conquered all of Anatolia including Ağrı in the Battle of Kose Dağ in 1243 and the city was later included in the Ilkhanate Khanate established in 1256.
