In the middle of XVIII century, Ibrahim Roodbari declared himself an independent ruler and created Salyan khanate. Abasgulu agha writes: Huseynali khan of Guba sent his son Fathali agha with troops and got back Salyan from his relative Ibrahim Roodbari in 1756. Capturing Salyanwas great economical and military-strategical success. After annexing Salyan khanate was liquidated, the ruler was called sultan.
The map included to this blogpost was published in 1910 in Saint Petersburg, the capital of Russian empire. "A. F. Marks spciety" made big geographical atlas. It was named "Mark's Big World Table Atlas". That included in itself many maps of those times. Why we show this map in post. The main reason is that when we observe in this map - which were made by Russian geographers in Saint Petersburg - toponyms of modern Armenia are all in Azerbaijani language. There is no any Armenian words in the map in 1910. After Soviet occupatian of Azerbaijan, and creating Armenia SSR in the lands of Azerbaijan these toponyms were changed and armenized. The map is being exhibited in the National Museum of History of Azerbaijan.
