Aghdznik
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aghdznik (Armenian: Աղձնիք), also known as Altzniq or Arzanene, was a region of old Armenia that existed before AD 300, when it was ruled by Bakur (or Pakur). About 330 it was incorporated into Siunik.
Aghdznik was later a small Arab chiefdom in the 10th century, in Kurdistan (today East Turkey).
Hamdum, an Arab chief, conquered Altzniq and Amida (Diyarbakır), around 962. In 963 a sister of Hamdum whose name is not given in the original sources, governed the region for ten years.
