Hasan Ali Khan became the head of the Erivan Khanate in 1755 after the uprising of the people, during which the past Khalil Khan Uzbek was overthrown.

Erivan Khanate
The Erivan Khanate (), also known as , was a Khanates of the Caucasus, khanate (i.e., province) that was established in Afsharid dynasty, Afsharid Iran in the 18th century. It covered an area of roughly 19,500 km2, and corresponded to most of present-day central Armenia, the Iğdır Province and the Kars Province's Kağızman district in present-day Turkey and the Sharur District, Sharur and Sadarak District, Sadarak districts of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of present-day Azerbaijan.

This arrangement persisted after Karim Khan Zand nominally restored Iranian authority in the South Caucasus. The Georgian king attacked the khanate multiple times when the khan attempted to avoid paying tribute. Like some of the other khans of the Caucasus, Mohammad Khan Qajar of Erivan, Mo ...
