The map showing the realm of the Seljuk Turks released by Metin Kulunk on Twitter. 

A former lawmaker from Turkey’s ruling AK Party has released a map of “Greater Turkey” that goes back to the era of the Seljuq Empire and its defeat of the Byzantine Empire in the 1071 Battle of Manzikert.

Metin Külünk, who is close to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, released the map on the anniversary of the battle that falls on August 26, amid tension between Turkey and Greece over a dispute on oil and gas exploration in the east Mediterranean.

The map shows what he called “Greater Turkey,” including vast territories spanning from northern Greece to the eastern Aegean islands, half of Bulgaria, Cyprus, most of Armenia and large swaths of Georgia, Iraq and Syria.
