Salmas resident of the events he has seen thus writes:

Five hundred cavalry and infantry of the Muslim army entered the city suddenly & killed several people of the Assyrians & city were emptied of Assyrians.They act without thinking of the trusteeship were unhappy.

Ten days regularly will help FROM Khoy & Tabriz until their number rose to 2,000,& Assyrians, as their numbers increase every day, and the city would flood,gates are closed, & city were full from people are fleeing urban villages ,Commanders of the Muslim Army Assad Homayoun self centered Lakestan and Haji Musa Khan Salarhmayvn  and his army were in the city &  a little camp Mghanjvq were busy fighting. At this time the Myrzaptrvs⁸ Army of Urmia entered to Salmas & Assyrians increased and intensified war on their behalf.wake will finally defeated army Asdhmayvn ball fell to the Assyrians,the incident occurred khoy army feared &  the retreat was Mghanjvq  & All villages were occupied by the Assyrians.Assyrians from each side to help cities shut down & attacked Town.

On the twelfth day of the month of Rajab hour dare Assyrian army was more & the fear of the Muslim army had to be added,and residents and soldiers fled,but the suburbs and rural areas of the Assyrian army was filled,Waiting for did not escape the night.Had been in the tower defense and city attempted to protect,Overall the evening was hard and people in their homes with little food packages that were associated with them,  the truth behind the gates were gathered, waiting for the night to escape.

Several thousand women and children were crying in the back gate and weepy and shells and guns constantly pouring into the city.About a hundred women who had lost their children, their escape routes are amazed everyone senseless and Search Postern.

Half an hour before sunset, the Assyrian army entered the city with violence and beat the keeper Ahrnjan people killed and houses set alight.Muslim Guard towers come down  & escaped from Piejik gate.Assyrian army deserters from both sides were executed by firing squad,and around the city were filled with dead bodies,ditches were full of bodies,many women put their children in the river and fled.

Summary; that dark night in the city and the desert, was crying children and women  reached to the sky.Two-thirds of people who were unable to flee their homes and closed the door, sat down and waited for death.

Assyrians were busy killing people on a day to break in the house and killed all the inhabitants,Children in front of her mother and brother were killed in front of his sister ....they are cut Some organs have been killed &  some of the fire burning.

Forty thousand Muslim captives on the third day of the gathering place & passing over the dead body of a group & taken to the  Haftvan village and kept  them hungry & naked in Haftvan ruins .

After a week they were sent into exile, many of whom died in road,So that  road Tabriz-Kohy within a one miles of road there were hundreds of dead,the route ;Ismail Agha, the Kurds would leave them bare and naked.Many Muslims took refuge in mosques becouse they fact that the Assyrians would maintain the sanctity of the mosque,because Muslims killed long battle, Assyrians with gun shot mosques and the mosque was full of blood.
