City of Khoy which has an ancient history, for its geographical situation has been effective in the region along the history and has had important stand in the history of Turk and Islam. Before facing the Byzantine in Malazgirt, Great Sultan Alp Arslan has gathered his army in Khoy and enjoyed people’s help, too.
