I khanati del Caucaso,[1] noti anche come khanati azeri[2], khanati persiani[3][4] o khanati iraniani[5][6] erano varie province e principati stabiliti nella Persia (Iran) e nei territori nel Caucaso (gli odierni Azerbaigian, Armenia, Georgia e Daghestan) dal tardo periodo Safavide alla dinastia dei Qajar. La Persia cedette definitivamente una parte di questi khanati alla Russia in seguito alle guerre russo-persiane nel corso del XIX secolo, mentre gli altri furono assorbiti dalla Persia. I khanati erano di origine azera.[7][8][9]

    The Caucasian Campaigns and the Azerbaijani Khanates The success of the Russian campaigns in annexing the Transcaucasian territories was not solely due to the resolve of the generals and their troops, or even their superiority over the Persian military. The independent khanates, themselves, were disintegrating from within, helplessly weakening one another with their internal rivalries.

    The core territory of modern-day Azerbaijan, i.e. Shirvan, Quba and other Azeri Khanates in the Caucasus, served historically as place of refuge for Persian and later Russian Jews.
