Abbasqoli Khan Ardalan

Abbasqoli Khan Ardalan was the Ardalan beglerbeg (governor) of Safavid Kurdistan from 1710 to 1724.^[1] Abd al-Karim Qazi, a leading religious leader in Ardalan played a role in this appointment. It appears that Abbasqoli Khan's alleged prominent performance during the retaliatory expedition against the Ghilzay leader Mirwais Hotak—who rebelled in Kandahar in 1709—was at least part of the reason for his appointment.^[2]
