Azaz (Arabic: أعزاز A'zāz) is a small town in Syria, roughly 20 miles (30 kilometres) north-northwest of Aleppo (Halab). It is most notable for being the site of the Battle of Azaz between the Crusader States and the Seljuk Turks on June 11, 1125.
Azaz was the scene of a humiliating defeat of the Byzantine emperor Romanos III in August 1030, but was soon afer captured by the Byzantines under Niketas of Mistheia.
In the Battle of Azaz, forces of the Crusader States commanded by King Baldwin II of Jerusalem defeated Aq-Sunqur il-Bursuqi's army of Seljuk Turks on June 11, 1125 and raised the siege of the town. (One authority says the battle was fought on June 13.)
Joscelin I of Edessa had captured the city from the atabeg of Aleppo in 1118. The next year the Crusaders under Roger of Salerno were severely defeated at the Battle of Ager Sanguinis, and King Baldwin II of Jerusalem was captured while patrolling in Edessa in 1123.
In 1124 Baldwin II was released, and almost immediately he laid siege to Aleppo on October 8, 1124. This caught the attention of il-Bursuqi, the Seljuk atabeg of Mosul. Il-Bursuqi marched south to relieve the siege of Aleppo, which was nearing the point of surrender in January 1125 after a three-month siege. In spite of the city being "the greatest prize the war could offer," Baldwin cautiously withdrew without a fight.

And cast your words away upon the waves
Sail them home with acquiesce on a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud today
And then dance if you wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be, please brother let it be
Life on the other hand, won't let us understand
We're all part of the masterplan
Say it loud and sing it proud today
I'm not saying right is wrong, it's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
'Cause everything that's been has past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud and today
Will dance if they wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be, please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
