No. Erzurum was taken from the Byzantines by the Seljuks in 1071. The Byzantines had conquered the city roughly 800 years prior to the Seljuk conquest. The City has had a Turkish majority for roughly 800 years and continues to do so today. The name of the city is from Arabic and means City of the Romans (arz u Rum). The Romans (Byzantines) used to call the city Theodosiopolis.
