He belonged to the Kangarlu tribe,[1] a branch of the Turkoman Ustajlu tribe, which was part of the Qizilbash tribal confederacy.[3] Nakhichevan is both the name of a city and historical region located in the Armenian highlands in the South Caucasus.[4][2] In Safavid Iran (1501–1736), it was an administrative jurisdiction of the Erivan Province (also known as Chokhur-e Sa'd).[5] Since the second half of the 17th-century, members of the Kangarlu had held the governorship of Nakhchivan. In 1747, following the death of the Afsharid shah (king) of Iran, Nader Shah, Heydar Qoli Khan established the Nakhichevan Khanate.[1]
Before 1762, Heydar Qoli Khan was succeeded by Hajji Khan Kangarlu as the khan of Nakhichevan.[1]
