| Summary: | The article is devoted to determining the boundaries of the territory which in the first third of the 17th century belonged to Amirgunah khan Qacar, the ruler of Erevan khanate and Chuhur-Saad beylerbeylik. According to the sources, after the reconquest of Yerevan from the Ottoman Empire, the shahinshah Abbas I Safavid gave Yerevan and the territory of the Chuhur-Saad under the control of Amirgunah khan, but the sources nowhere indicate the boundaries of new possession. On the basis of Arakel, Davrizhetsi, Zakaria, Kanakertsi, Iskander Munshi, Evliya Chelebi, acts material and other sources, the article argues that in the East and South the possession of Amirgunah Khan bordered on beylerbeyliks Ganja and Tabriz, in the North there was a disputed border with Georgian kingdoms and principalities, and in the West, where there were possessions of the Ottoman Empire, there was no stable border in the period of the war. Nevertheless, the study of the sources helped to determine the areas subordinate to Amirgunah khan and his son Tahmasp Kuli khan in 1604-1635, until a new conquest of Erevan khanate by Ottoman Empire. |
