The Turco-Mongol Invasions and the Lords of Armenia in the 13 ...

GA: "Thereafter when the wise princes of Armenia
and Georgia realized that God had given power and victory
to [the Mongols] to take our lands, they then became
reconciled, and became obedient to the Tatars and promised
to give the taxes, i.e., the mal and Jt'aiar, and to come
out to them with th?ir cavalry wherever they led them.
The latars, agreeing to this, ceased their killing and
destroying the land, and themselves returned to their
place, the country of Mughan. But they left a chief
named lara Bula to demolish all the fortresses which they
had taken. They destroyed to the foundations the impregnable
fortresses built by the TaSiks at great cost. This
all came to pass" (GA p. 237).
KG: "When atabek Iwane'a son, the amirspasalar Awag
saw these crimes, he sent emissaries to Partaw, where
the above-mentioned noylns had encamped for the winter.
The latter passed the summer in the mountains of Gelark'unik'
and Ayrarat, for at that time, Chormaghun had taken Ani.
Awag sent to them emissaries, seeking reconciliation. He
promised to go to see them, to serve and to pay taxes, for
the preservation of his country; he demanded an oath and
assurances. They were delighted and accepted Awag'a
emissary with affection and swore a firm oath.
"...When Awag's emissaries returned and relayed to
him all that happened, epasalar Awag went to them, having
staked his soul for his lands. He went to Chormaghun.
Chaghatai, Baiju and Yusur, who saw and honored him, became
intimately acquainted, and appointed guards for [his]
cities. In their language these are called Ian.
"Awag's land was thus pacified. When the mandat urt'—
uxuc'es Sahniab was Informed of the reconciliation between
Awag and the Tatars, he too wanted to keep his country
safely, in peace, and unharmed. He told Awag to notify
them that he wanted to go to see the Tatars. The Tatars
were informed and agreed to it with joy, and for this
too they also swore the golden oath of assurance. Sahnsah
also went and saw them. They similarly honored him greatly
and returned to him Ani and the land of his they had
taken, in its entirety. Then they appointed guards for
the interior of the country. They received with honor
all the Georgian princes who came [to them] while Jhey
ravaged the lands of the disobedient. When Zak'are's son,
Tahram Gageli was informed of this, he too sought refuge
[with the Tatars], With reconciliation accepted, his
lands too were pacified...However Heret'i and Kaxet'i,
Somxlt'i and K'art111 and above as far as the city of
Karin (Erzerum) were undergoing bitter destruction...
[The Mongols] enslaved and raided K'ajt'li, flame'xe, Javaxet'i.
and above as far as Greece («Rum), Kaxet'i, and
Heret i as far as Darband.
"Forced to this fate by chastisements, all the princes
of Georgia, the people of Her-Kaxet'i, of K'art'li, Toreli—
Gamrkeli, Sargis T'mogveli an educated and virtuous man,
sought refuge with the Tatars, while the Mesons, for the
dignity of queen Rusudan did not submit". Chaghatai. enraged,
