Seljuk Migration From Central Eastern Europe ???

[edit]

....Turkish Seljuk migration from eastern central Europe to Anatolia....

This is misleading and perhaps entirely wrong. Though the Seljuks held land in the Balkans during the last days of the Byzantine Empire, this is not their place of origin - they settled in Balkan part of what is now Turkey, temporary creating a capital, but hailed from Anatolia earlier, and before that from Turkmenistan, via Iraq,Iran,Syria.As this article is about saif, it should be made clear that the blades the Seljuks used where not of "Central East European" origin, but rather influenced by the curved Turco-Mongolian sabres.
