EspañolBURI-SAD
According to Movses Kagankatvatsi, 'Buri-sad' ("Wolf Commander") was a 7th century Göktürk prince and an ''ishad'' or general in the army of the Western Turkic Khaganate. He was the son of Mo-ho sad, who may have been the ''yabghu'' or prince of the Khazars.[1] Buri-sad's uncle was Tong Yabghu Khagan, the khagan of the Western Göktürks.[2]
Buri-sad was probably commander of the Khazar forces during the Third Perso-Turkic War in the Caucasus in 627-629. Under Buri-sad's command the Khazars sacked many cities in Caucasian Albania and attempted to establish a firm foothold in Transcaucasia.[2]
Following Tung Yabghu's instructions, Buri-sad suggested to the Persian satrap of Aghvania and to Catholicos Viro that they should acknowledge the Khagan as their overlord. The governor refused to pay homage to the Turks and fled to Persia. The catholicos was also hesitant.
After the Turks started to plunder the cities, Viro escaped to the mountainous region of Artsakh, where the Turks managed to track him down. When asked to capitulate, the Catholicos summoned princes and potentates from across the country and asked them whether the Albanians should resist the invaders. It was dicided that resistance was futile.
Viro personally brought the message of obedience and allegiance to Buri-sad, whose army encamped in the vicinity of Partav. The ''shad'' reproached Viro for his delays: "Why did you procrastinate with your visit? If only you were more expeditious, your country would have been spared the calamities brought about by my troops".
After paying homage to Buri-sad, the Catholicos asked him to free the Albanian prisoners. Buri-sad dispatched his bailiffs to rummage the tents. They found many young men hiding among the plunderables and cattle and set them free.
In April 630 Buri-sad took advantage of dynastic disorders in the Sassanid Empire and dispatched Chorpan Tarkhan to conquer Armenia.[4] Although the campaign was successful, Buri-shad had to flee to Central Asia after learning about the murder of Tong Yabghu later that year.
