Shamshadil, Shamshaddil, or The Sultanate of Shamshaddil (рус. Шамшадиль, Шамшадинский султанат, azerb. Şəmşəddil sultanlığı) was a sultanate established in 1747. Its area was 4200 versts (one verst equals to 1067 square meters), and the population mainly consisted of Zulgadar clan, taking roots from the Qizilbash Turkic tribes. The sultanate was located near Lake Sevan and covered the territories of the modern day Tavush Province in Armenia and some parts of Tovuz District in Azerbaijan, with the center in the village of Oksuzlu, in the territory of Tovuz.[1]
It was headed by the Zulgadar clan who lived mainly in the village of Khilkhina. Although the Shamshaddil sultanate was subordinated to the Ganja Khanate and the Kartli Tsar from time to time, it always fought for independence.
In 1801, the Shamshadil Sultanate was annexed to Russian Empire together with the Sultanates of Borchaly and Kazakh.
The first sultan of Shamshaddil was Sultan who ruled from 1747 to 1761. The most powerful sultan – Nasib – ruled from 1797 to 1819.[2][3]
