Fatali Khan
In spring of 1783, Fatali khan prepared to act against Karabakh, and khans of Talish, Tabriz, Sheki and Urmia, Bamat of Buynaksk, shamkhal of Tarki and other rulers of the Northern Caucasus also entered a coalition organized by him. According to testimony of a “confidant” the khan had about 13 thousand soldiers. Simultaneously, taking the advantage of his absence, rulers of the Southern Dagestan with the guidance of avar nutsal Umma khan and utsmiy Amir Hamza, intended to act against Fatali khan. Not long before that, in August, 1782 prince Alexander – an aspirant to the throne of Kartli-Kakheti – accompanied by prince Alexander Amilakhvari came to Fatali Khan. As far as, alliance of Erekle II with Ibrahimkhalil khan prevented Fatali khan from submission of Karabakh, then he intended to use oppositional forces, which were against Erekle II. But Erekle II informed a commandant of Kizlar of Caucasian line about intentions of Fatali Kahn and his ally, the shamkhal of Tarki and in autumn of 1783, according to assignment of P.S.Potyemkin, strong detachments were put along the Sulak and Terek Rivers, which ought to move to Derbent and Georgia in case of realization of intentions of Fatali Khan and prince Alexander. The given circumstance caused refusal of Fatali Khan from the venture against Erekle II. Besides that, according to demand of P.S.Potyemkin, Fatali Khan gave away both princes, for which he was gratitude by the Russian government.
