Muhammet Arslan
Muhammet Arslan is a prominent Turkish archaeologist and the head of excavations at the ancient city of Ani, which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since 2019, he has led significant archaeological work in Ani, emphasizing its historical importance as a key site for Turkish history and civilization in Anatolia. Arslan has been vocal about correcting misconceptions regarding the Turkish presence in the region, arguing that Ani, rather than Malazgirt, served as the primary gateway for Turks entering Anatolia. His recent discoveries include evidence of early Turkish-Islamic architecture and practices, contributing to a greater understanding of the city's rich 5,000-year history.
