Revision as of 06:46, 28 February 2007
The Erivan (Yerevan), Erwan (آرون) or Irevan khanate was an Azerbaijani Muslim kingdom from 1747 and 1828, which sometimes was under the dominion of the Persian Empire, roughly corresponding to most of present-day central Armenia, the Iğdır Province of Turkey, and the Sharur and Sadarak rayons of Azerbaijan's Nakhichevan exclave. As a result of the Persian defeat in the last Russo-Persian War, it was ceded to the Russian Empire in accordance with the Treaty of Turkmanchai.
During the existence of the Erivan khanate, its population consisted primarily of Persians (settled largely around the capital), Azerbaijanis (both settled and seminomadic), and Kurds (largely nomadic). Shia Islam was the predominate faith of the khanate (with some Kurds of the Sunni school). Yazidis were also known to be numerous. Armenians formed less than 20% of the population as a result of Shah Abbas I's deportation of much of the Armenian, as well as Jewish and Muslim, population from the Ararat valley and the surrounding region in 1605.
