Popis: In Central Asia, the term iqta' appeared in a chronicle again in the late 16th century. Soviet historians understood that it was similar to soyicrghal or tankhvah and was used as an outdated term having no substance. As B. Ahmedov pointed out, however, the iqta' meant that the members of the royal family and distinguished amirs were granted the administrative and the tax immunity at a certain area by the khan under the agreement that they would offer military service and pay a portion of their tax revenue to the state. The iqta' was different from the soyurghal apearing in the documents, which meant the right given to the moslem saints or the learned men and tankhvah given to the soldiers, but was synonymous with the soyurghal in the chronicles in those centuries. It was related to the khan's appanage grant policy and to the tradition of soyurghal in the previous eras', but was not the same with the military iqta' system.
