Abstract
The Sulayman Balkhi Family is originally from Kunduz.
The genealogy of the Balkhi family is based on Burhan al-Din
Kılıc known as “sovereign”, “Sultan of the Ozkand” and “Turk
Sheikh from Fargana” and who lived in the 11th century. The
Sulayman Balkhi family with a crowded convoy formed by the
Uzbeks from Balkh, Kunduz and Badakhshan and the Turcomans,
came from Afghanistan to Baghdad through Iran and had settled in
Istanbul on the invitation of Sultan Abd al-Aziz in 1861. Sayyid
Sulayman Balkhi and his sons Abd al-Qaadir and Burhan al-Din
Balkhi are the most important persons of the Balkhi family. In this
article, the above-mentioned persons have been introduced
according to the new documents in the “Daftar-i Quyudat” which
contains the copies of the official and private letters of this family
bearing a historical value.
