Life
Abulfat Khan Tuti - a poet and statesman, was the son of the Karabakh Khan Ibrahimkhalil Javanshir. Born in Shusha. He received a good education, helped his father in managing affairs in the palace.
In 1796, Count Valerian Zubov, at the head of a large Russian army, arrived in Azerbaijan and set up camp on the banks of the Kura River. Ibrahimhalil Khan Javanshir, worried about the new invasion of Aga Muhammad Khan Kajar in Karabakh, decides to enter into an alliance with Count Zubov. He informs the court noble about his decision. On the advice of his chief visor, Moll Panah Wagif, he sends a delegation led by his son Abulfat to meet with the Count. Having completed his mission, Abulfat-aga returns to his father.
In 1797, after the assassination in Shusha by the invasion of Aga Muhammad Khan Kadzhar, his nephew Fatali Khan came to power in Iran, who demanded that Ibrahimhalil Khan give him the killer of his uncle and hostage to detain him in his palace. Ibrahimkhalil Khan sends his son Abulfat to Iran as a hostage, and also extradits his daughter Agabeiim aha for the Shah.
The Shah does not leave Abulfat aga in the palace, but sends him as assistants to his son, Abbas Mirze. In 1806, Abulfat Khan, together with Abbas Mirza, makes a trip to Karabakh. By the time they arrived in Karabakh, the Russians had killed Ibrahimkhalil Khan and some members of the Khan's family. After the funeral of the slain, Abulfat Khan Javanshir entrusts the rule here to Mehtigul Khan (elder brother), and he returns to Iran.
In 1813, the Gulistan Peace Agreement was signed between Iran and Russia, according to which the northern khanates of Azerbaijan, with the exception of the Erivan and Nakhichevan khanates, became part of Russia. In 1826, Abbas Mirza, together with Abulfat Khan, again makes a trip to Karabakh, which ends in failure. In 1828, the Turkmenchay agreement was concluded between Iran and Russia. This time, all the territories in northern Azerbaijan, along the Araz River, depart to Russia. In 1833, after the death of Abbas Mirza, Abulfat Khan left the army and returned to civilian life.
He was married to Nisa-xanym, the daughter of Mirza Rabi, the vezar of Tsar Irakli II of Kakheti, from whom he had a daughter.
He died in 1839. He was buried in the city of Qum (Iran), where his sister Agabeyim-aga Javanshir (wife of Fatali Shah Kajar) found eternal peace.
Abulfat Khan was a poet and wrote poetry under the pseudonym Tuti. Most of his works were written in Turkic, the rest in Farsi. Many sources speak of him as a talented poet. Several gazelles of Abulfat Khan Tuti have survived, thanks to the anthology "Riyaz-ul-aşiqin" compiled by Muhammad aga Mistahidzade.
