Abstract: "On May 14 (26), 1805 General Paul Tsitsianov, the Russian commander in the Caucasus, and Ebrahim Khan of Karabagh signed a treaty, by which the Karabagh Province became a Russian protectorate. Ebrahim Khan promised to be a loyal subject of the Russian Emperor, to pay an annual tribute of 8,000 gold rubles to the treasury in Tiflis, and to send a son and a grandson as hostages to Tiflis. In exchange, Russia promised that Ebrahim Khan and his progeny would continue as the khans of Karabagh and that local rule, including the courts and administration, as well as the taxes would remain under Ebrahim Khan's jurisdiction. On the night of June 2 (14), 1806, a group of Russian soldiers killed Ebrahim Khan, after he had reportedly resubmitted to Fath `Ali Shah of Iran and had left Shushi to join the Iranian army. The Russians appointed Mahdiqoli, a son of Ebrahim Khan, as the new Khan of Karabagh. He promised to abide by the articles of the 1805 treaty.
