The Syunik rebellion of 1722–1730 began as a rebellion of the Armenians of the region of Syunik in Iranian Armenia against Safavid rule and local Muslim tribes and rulers. Under the leadership of Davit Bek, an Armenian soldier from Georgia, the Armenian lords (meliks) of Syunik were united and an independent Armenian principality was established. From 1725, the Armenian principality of Syunik resisted the Ottoman Empire's attempts to occupy the region. After making initial gains and occupying a significant part of the province, the Ottomans were defeated at the Battle of Halidzor on 26 February 1727. After this victory, Davit Bek's forces completely drove the Ottomans out of Syunik, and he was recognized by the Safavid shah Tahmasp II as ruler of Ghapan. After his death in mid-1728, Davit Bek was succeeded by one of his commanders, Mkhitar Sparapet. In a renewed assault, the Ottomans captured and destroyed Halidzor in early 1729, forcing Mkhitar to flee. Although Mkhitar continued to resist the Ottomans and won some victories, he was killed by a group of Armenian villagers in Khndzoresk. Left leaderless, the Armenian forces dispersed, and the Ottomans occupied Syunik, although some Armenians continued to resist from impregnable mountainous areas. The rebellion occurred in conjunction with, and occasionally directly cooperating with, an Armenian rebellion in the neighboring region of Artsakh (Karabagh).
