GARD ANEH-I-T tT -I-L AQ—

GARlLl—
A tribe of Turks in Astarabad and Khorasan. According to the Sani’-ud
Dauleh the Garili Turks were the ancient inhabitants of Mongolia and
Tartary and had a kingdom of their own which was at the zenith of its glory
before the Mongols under Chingiz Khan cape into power. The king of the
Garilis then was Oung Khan who had his capital at Kara Koram.
After the death of the father of Chingiz Khan, the latter fled to Kara
Koram and appealed to Oung Khan for protection. Oung Khan took him
into favour, which excited the jealousy of his sons, who intrigued and
succeeded in poisoning their father’s mind against Chingiz Khan. Oung
Khan eventually made up his mind to put Chingiz Khan to death, but the
latter got news of the king’s intention and effected his escape. He returned
to his tribe and managed to collect an army with which he succeeded in
overthrowing the Garili Kingdom, killing Oung Khan and laying the
foundations for his own rise. _
When Hulaku Khan was sent by Mangu Khan with a large army to
govern Persia and extend his conquests to the westward in 1253 A.D., the
former selected one of every ten families of all the different tribes of Mon
golia and Tartary to accompany him. Among these were 12,000 families
of the Garili Turks. The other tribes went with Hulaku Khan as far as
Syria, Anatolia and ’Iraq-i-’Arab, but the Garili Turks remained in
Khorasan. They settled in the districts of Kuchan, Shirvan and Bujnurd,
and remained there till they were driven out by Kurds during the reign
of Shah ’Abbas, Safavi, about the year 1600 A. D. A large number
of their families were also settled on the Chaman-i-Qalpush, an extensive
fertile plain bounded on the north by Gurgan, on the south by Nardin, on
the east by the Jaiarm and on the west by Firang, Farsian and Fidarisk.
After Nadir Shah’s deatn these were raided by the Turkomans, who killed
a large number of them. In consequence of this the survivors fled from
the country and were scattered in different directions. The people who
remained were those belonging to the ’Ashqi or Shuki section _ who ^ were
all forcibly removed to the Astarabad district during the reign of Aqa
Muhammad Shah towards the end of the eighteenth century, with the
exception of a small number who were also forced by Sardar Zulfikar
Khan of Samnan to take flight during the reign of Fath ’AH Shah Kajar
at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The majority of the tribe,
numbering about 5,000 families, are now settled in the Katul, Fidarisk
and Kuhsar districts of Astarabad. The rest are scattered in the
