According to Wikipedia, --- google Suleyman Shah --- it's not Suleiman the Magnificent, but a far-distant ancestor, you could say the proto-Suleiman.

"The Tomb of Suleyman Shah (Turkish: Süleyman Şah Türbesi) is a sovereign exclave of Turkey situated in Aleppo, Syria. It is the burial place of Suleyman Shah, the grandfather of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire."

First time I ever ran into the word "exclave," by the way.

“Exclave” - new to me, too.

But....! That sounds like the modern Turks would regard that tomb as sovereign Turkish territory, and they will attack in order to defend it.

Stay tuned.
