Four years after Alp Arslan returned to Iran, he received news that the principalities in the region and the Kingdom of Georgia were attempting to rebel in order to gain their independence ^[1] . Thereupon, Alp Arslan set out on a campaign to the Caucasus again in 1068^[2]^[3]^[4]. Alp Arslan, Azerbaijan^[5]^[6], Georgia^[7] and the entire South Caucasus were annexed to the Seljuk Empire ^[8]^[9]. Learning that the Karakhanid rulers were dead and that their affairs were in disarray, Alp Arslan ended his 6-month-long Georgian campaign; he returned to Ganja, then to Berda'a, and crossed the Aras River and set off for Iran (1068)^[10].
