Karabakh Beylerbeylik was an administrative region within the Safavid dynasty of Iran.[1] At the time of the Safavid Iran state, the entire territory of Arran was made up of three regions beylerbeydoms: Shirvan, Karabakh (or Ganja), Chukhursaad (or Iravan).[2] These regions were headed by the shah’s governors-general who were called beylerbeys.
The first Beylerbey of Karabakh was Shahverdi-Sultan from the Ziyad-oglu clan of the Turkic Qajar tribe, who was appointed by Shah Tahmasp I in the 1540s. The nobility of the tribe was granted pastures and land plots in Karabakh.[3] The power of the Karabakh beylerbey covered a vast territory – from the Georgian border near “Sinig Korpu” Bridge (currently “Red Bridge”) to Khudafarin Bridges on the Araz river.[4] The descendants of Shahverdi-Sultan were khans of Karabakh until 1736 when Nader Shah took Karabakh from Ziyad-oglu, leaving him with Ganja and a county, which he and his heirs owned until 1804.[5]
