Western Turkic Khaganate
The Western Turkic Khaganate was formed as a result of the internecine wars in the beginning of the
7th century
(
600
– 603 AD) after the
Göktürk
Khaganate
(founded in the
6th century
in Northern
Mongolia
by the
Ashina
clan) had splintered into two polities – Eastern and Western. The Western Turks (also known as the Onoq, or "ten arrows") sought friendly relations with the
Byzantine Empire
in order to expand their territory at the expense of their mutual enemy, the
Sassanid Empire
. In 619 the Western Turks invaded
Bactria
but were repulsed in the course of the
Second Perso-Turkic War
. During the
Third Perso-Turkic War
Khagan
Tung Yabghu
and his nephew
Buri-sad
joined their forces with
Emperor Heraclius
and successfully invaded
Transcaucasia
.
