Overview
The Nvarsak Treaty was concluded after the previous Sasanian shahanshahPeroz I (r. 459–484) was killed by the Hephthalites amid Armenian guerrilla efforts.[2] This treaty ensured religious freedom and autonomy for Armenians.[3]
Land should not be allotted to people who convert to Zoroastrianism
The Sasanian king should, in person, administer Armenia and not through deputies.
Following the treaty, Vahan Mamikonian was appointed as hazarapet and later marzban ("margrave") of Armenia.[5] The Armenian cavalry led by Vahan supported Balash against the uprising of a pretender named Zarer (son or brother of Peroz).[4][6]
