The capture of Pars City by Viseh
editThe Iran-Turan War is the first major war between the two governments of Iran and Turan. In this war most of the allies and countries cut off Nowzar and joined Afrasiab. Turan's army was able to occupy the Iranian capital and destroy the King of Iran.
Nowzar had no more than three or four allies in the war, one of whom was the Qaren Ruler of Rey. On the third night of the war, in consultation with the Iranians, Qaren with his army departed from Nowzar castle at night to save the royal family in Pars City.[1] According to the Shahnameh, Viseh had taken over the city of Pars and had captured the royal family.
