SALOR—
A powerful tribe of Turkumans, formerly inhabiting the tract about Marv.
Twenty families of them in 1881 migrated to Baghbaghu. A large body of
this tribe in 1880 left the Tekke country, entered Persia, and were settled
at Zurabad and near the Kashaf Rud. In 1832, after the capture of the
old town of Sarakhs by Abbas Mirza, a portion of the Salors, to whom
that town belonged, were settled near Zurabad. But when the Tekke Turku
mans in the Marv country became powerful, they found these Salors settled
in Persia a thorn in their side; and during the period of the great Persian
famine of 1871 the whole of the Salors settled at Zurabad and in its
neighbourhood were, partly by force and partly by persuasion, moved off and
settled in the Marv country along the Murghab river. The tribe was
broken up and divided among the different sections of the Marv Tekke.
They do not appear to have found their position, as a subordinate tribe, a very
pleasant one; and in 1881 about 1,500 families of them came back to Persia-,
and the majority have settled near Zurabad. Some have settled at Ak-Dar-
band on the Kashaf Rud, and some within 13 miles of Turbat-i-Shaikh Jami,
at a place called Nflabad. A fine fort has been built at Zurabad by the
Persians, and a garrison quartered there to keep the Salor Turkumans in order.
The Salor Turkumans settled in Persia are said not to be very contented.
Napier speaks of the Salor as a small tribe, appearing to have no separate
political existence.
They are renowned for their bravery and cruelty, insomuch that any
deed of unusual barbarity is at once attributed to them. They number now
4,000 families, and are to be found scattered along both banks of the
Murghab, together with the Sarik, with whom also they appear to act in
conjunction in matters relating to their common neighbours.— {Napier,
Stephen, Stewart.)
