Mehdigulu Khan Javanshir (Azerbaijani: Mehdiqulu xan Cavanşir; 1772-1845) was the third and the last khan of Karabakh Khanate and major-general of the Russian army.[1][2][3]
Mehdigulu Khan was born into a family of Ibrahimkhalil Khan of Karabakh and Khurshud Beyim – a granddaughter of Shahverdi Khan of Ganja and daughter of Javad Khan.[4] In July 1805, he was promoted to major-general by the order of Alexander I,[5] after the treaty of Kurakchay about conversion of Karabakh khanate to Russia was signed.[6]
After the murder of his father (his wife and many underage children were also murdered) in 1806,[7][8] Mehdigulu Khan was promoted to the Khan of Karabakh under the guidance of lieutenant-colonel Lisanevich, by the order of Alexander I.[9] He didn’t forgive the committed crime to Russians and was a secret ally of Iran during his reign. In November, 1822 he escaped to Iran. The Khanate was abolished and transformed into a province of the Russian Empire.
His daughter was a prominent Azerbaijani poet Khurshidbanu Natavan.
