My study, named as ?Turkish Military According to Kâşgarlı Mahmûd,Balasagunlu Yusuf and Nizâmü?l-mülk? contains information on military in thefirst Turkic-Islamic states. Turkish Military has always had the same troop often (onlu birlik) systems since Mete Khan of the pre-Islamic period. There wereslaves and mercenaries as well among the soldier supplies of Turkish military.With the application of military tax-land system executed since the Seljukids,the burden of military on the treasury reduced and the military began to affordits own expenditure. The military in the Turkic states was the guarantee for theperpetuation of the state. In fact, the peace and the stability of the statedepended on the vizier and on the commander. The ruler at top of the statecommanded at the same time the armies with the head commander title. Turks,thanks to their horses and weapons, have established political entities in variousparts of the world. Turks, without doubt, owe their existence in Anatolia to theirlong established military structures.
