The conquest of Malatya was led by Tankiz, the viceroy of Syria, under the orders of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, resulting in the annexation of Malatya to the Mamluk Sultanate.[1]
In 1315, Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun ordered the conquest of the Armenian city of Malatya in central Anatolia because it was supporting the Ilkhanid Mongols.[2] [3]
The Egyptian Mamluk forces marched from Cairo and joined up with the forces of Tankiz in the Levant.[4] The fortress of Malatya was conquered and plundered for three days after fighting against Armenian and Mongol forces on 28 April 1315,[5] expanding the scope of the Egyptian Sultanate. Raids were launched on other Armenian fortresses.[6]
