Tsori Towers (Ingushetia)
Tsori ( inh, Цхьори, Tshori) is an ancient city-settlement in Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia, now abandoned village. It is part of the rural settlement of Guli (administrative center rural settlement). Tsori is the ancestral settlement of Ingush taïp Tsoroy ( inh, Цхьо́рой) and the historical center of Tsorin society. History Historically, Tsori was the center of Tsorin society. In the second half of the 18th century (1770s), the German researcher J.A. Güldenstädt indicated Tsori among the total number of Ingush villages and districts. On 13 June 1785, a large Chechen force consisting of 500 men approached Tsori, in order to sack it. Learning of the plot, Tsorins attacked the Chechens during the night and defeated them. In 1832, due to the collaboration of Ingush with Kazi-Mulla and the murder of a bailiff, Baron Rozen led a punitive expedition on Ingush and went through Dzheyrakh and Metskhal around Khamkhi and Tsori.

Village
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Early life He was a close friend of Imam Shamil during his childhood in Dagestan. They both studied the Koran and Sufism together at Yaraghal, a Murid centre, and both disliked the loose customs of the mountain people that contradicted the laws in Koran. His mentor was Mullah Mohammed Yaraghi, a Naqshbandi Sufi scholar that brought the Mullah into the ulema.Akbar 151 He preached that Jihad would not occur until the Caucasians followed sharia completely rather than following a mixture of ...

Dzheyrakh ( inh, ЖӀайрах, Žyajrax; russian: Джейрах) - is a village and administrative center of Dzheyrakhsky District, in the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia. Etymology The name "Dzheyrakh" is associated with the Arabic name Jarrah ("inflicting wounds"). According to Suleymanov, the name of the village is associated with Arab military commander Djarakh ibn Abadallah al-Khakami, who was a vicar of the Arab caliph in Armenia and northern Iran between 724 and 730 A.D. According to the notion, Al-Jarrah ibn Abdallah led military campaign in the Northern Caucasus through the Darial Gorge. A connection with the word Ingush ''zhar'' (жӏар) — cross, is also possible.

Metskhal
Metskhal ( inh, Мецхал, Metskhal) is an abandoned aul in the Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia. It is part of the rural settlement of Lyazhgi (administrative center rural settlement). Etymology The name was most likely based on the Ingush word "metskhalg", which means "swift", which was revered by the Ingush. Perhaps Metskhal has connection with the name of the ancient capital of Georgia (country), Georgia Mtskheta. Geography Metskhal is located northeast of the village of Falkhan, on the spur of Mountain Mätloam. History In January 8 1811, foremen of 13 Kistin (Fyappiy, Fyappin) villages including Metskhal made act of oath for the Russian Empire. However it is worth saying that even after the oath of individual Ingush society or clans, the former Russian-Ingush relations remained the same. In fact, both sides took these type of oaths as a conclusion union treaties. Per List of populated areas of the Military-Ossetian ''Okrug'' in 1859, Metskhal had 13 househo ...
