Karabakh Khanate:

The Karabakh Khanate became an independent Turkish Khanate at the territories of

modern Armenia and Azerbaijan set up in approximately 1748 beneath
neath Iranian suzerainty in Karabakh and adjoining areas. The Karabakh khanate
existed till 1806 whilst the Russian Empire  received manipulation over it from Iran. The
Russian annexation of Karabakh became now no longer formalized till the Gulistan in
1813, whilst, as an end result of the Persian war which was during 1804, Fatali
Khan of Iran officially ceded Karabakh to Alexander I of Russia. The khanate became
abolished in 1822, after some years of Russian tolerance toward its Muslim rulers, and
a province, with army management, became formed.

1813, Ibrahim Khalil Khan and the Russian general signed a settlement moving the
Karabakh khanate beneath neath Russian dominion. However, the settlement became
of little value, because the borders had been converting continuously as much as the
cease of the battle in 1813. Following the Russian violation of the settlement that
identified Ibrahim Khalil Khan and his descendants as rulers of Karabakh in
perpetuity, via way of means of abolishing the khanate in 1822, army management was
formed. Russian manipulate became decisively showed with Iran via way of means of
the treaty of turkmenchay of 1828.
