Javanshir clan

The Javanshirs were a Turkic clan in Karabakh, who belonged to the Afshar tribe and were in turn a branch of the Oghuz Turks. Between 1748 and 1822, members of the Javanshir clan functioned as the head of the Karabakh Khanate.

Agha Khan Moghaddam was a Safavid military leader and official, prominent in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Of Turkoman origin, he was a member of the Moghaddam branch of the Otuziki/Otuzayeki tribe, who were based in the Karabagh Province. When King (Shah) Abbas I removed Qobad Khan Mokri from his position in 1609, then governor of Marageh and a member of the Kurdish Mokri tribe, he appointed Agha Khan Moghaddam as its new governor (hakem). From then on, and decisively from 1610-1611, when the Mokri Kurds in Maragheh were massacred on the order of Abbas I, the governorship of the city was invariably held by members of the Moghaddam clan until the end of the Qajar period.
