Mehdi Qoli Khan Qajar

Mehdi Qoli Khan Qajar (Persian: مهدی قلی خان قاجار) was the khan (governor) of the Erivan Khanate from 1805 to 1806.[1] He belonged to the Qavanlu branch of the Qajar tribe.[2] Due to his ineffectiveness, the Iranian king (shah) Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834) had him replaced with Ahmad Khan Moqaddam, the beglarbeg (governor-general) of Tabriz and Khoy.[3]
