History of Qarabagh
An Annotated Translation of Mirza Jamal Javanshir Qarabaghi's Tarikh-e Qarabagh
George A. Bournoutian
Mirza Javanshir Qarabaghi's chronicle concerns itself with political and socioeconomic
conditions in Qarabagh from the 1740s to 1806. It presents a fascinating account of the
Khanate of Qarabagh, an important, albeit short-lived, entity, which was formed by the
Javanshir khans following the death of Nader Shah in 1747 and which ended with Russian
control of the province in 1806 and its formal annexation into Russia in 1822.
The history begins with the campaigns of Nader Shah Afshar in Transcaucasia and his forced
relocation of Qarabaghi tribes. The struggle among Nader Shah's successors and the
emergence of new contenders, such as Fath Ali Khan Afshar and Mohammad Hassan Khan Qajar,
are depicted, as are their campaigns in Chelebi Qarabagh. The rise of Panah Khan and his
son Ebrahim Khalil Khan of Qarabagh, King Erekle II of Georgia, and Hajji of Shakki during
this interregnum and their struggles against each other for supremacy in the region is
detailed as well.
Of additional interest to scholars of the region is the information on the Armenians of
Qarabagh found in Mirza Jamal's history and in other Iranian and Azeri primary sources.
The current crisis in Qarabagh and the rise of nationalism in Transcaucasia has resulted
in the publication of a number of subjective and unscholarly volumes.
This study examines Iranian, Azeri, and Arabic primary sources and incorporates all
references to Qarabagh into an objective and fully annotated translation of the Tarikh-e
Qarabagh.
Specifications:
1994: xvi+199pp., 5 maps, notes, bibl., glossary, index. Includes facsimile of the Persian
text.
