The Khanate of Nakhichevan (Template:Lang-az; Template:Lang-fa) was a feudal state, subordinate to the Persian Shahs, that existed on the territory of the present-day Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.
The khanate was ruled by the local Azeri-Turkish Kangarli dynasty and the population of the khanate was mostly Muslim (Azeri-Turkish and Kurdish). It was founded in 1747 by Haydar Quli Khan, who declared himself the ruler of Nakhichevan after the death of Nadir Shah Afshar, the ruler of Persia. During the rule of Panah khan of Karabakh khanate, Nakhichevan was the dependency of Karabakh.
During Russo-Persian War of 1804-1813, Russian forces under general Gudovich briefly occupied Nakhichevan in 1808, but as a result of Treaty of Gulistan it passed into Persian hands. After the second Russo-Persian War of 1826-1828 and the Treaty of Turkmenchay, the khanate passed into Russian possession in 1828. The ruler of the khanate Ehsan khan supported Russia in the war against Persia and was conferred by the Russian authorities the rank of major-general of the Russian army and the title of campaign ataman of Kangarly militia.
With the onset of Russian rule, the tsarist authorities encouraged massive resettlement of Armenians from Persia and Turkey to Nakhichevan and other areas of the Caucasus. Special clauses of the Turkmenchay and Adrianople treaties allowed for this. According to Russian envoy to Persia Alexandr Griboyedov, the number of Armenian population resettled to Nakhichevan in 1828 exceeded all reasonable limits, and this resulted in tensions between the newcomers and local mainly Muslim population. Griboyedov requested Russian army commander count Ivan Paskevich to give orders on resettlement of some of the arriving people further to the region of Daralagoz to quiet the tensions. Armenian-American scholar George Bournoutian considers this to be a repatriation of Armenians, who had fled the region (or, as in the case of Shah Abbas's rule, had been forcibly relocated) during the early 19th, 18th, and 17th centuries due Muslim misrule.
The khanate was dissolved in 1828, its territory was merged with the territory of the Erivan khanate, which in 1840 was renamed the Erivan Governorate of the Russian Empire. Nakhichevan became the Nakhichevan uyezd of the province.
After dissolution of the khanate, khans of Nakhichevan remained the most influential power and de-facto rulers of the region. Nakhchivan khans became known in the Russian empire by the surname of Khan Nakhichevanski and the men of the family traditionally chose military service. Six Khans Nakhchivanski became generals in Russian tsarist, Soviet and Iranian armies. Sons of Ehsan khan Ismail khan and Kalbali khan were both awarded orders of Saint-George of IV degree for the services in battle and were generals in Russian army. Son of Kalbali khan Huseyn Khan Nakhichevanski was a prominent Russian military commander and adjutant general of the Russian Emperor, and his nephews Jamshid and Kalbali were generals in Soviet and Iranian armies respectively.
