An excursion into its history in the second half of the 18th century is made. They characterize the political situation in Iran, highlight the main military and political steps of Aga Muhammеd-кhan, to strengthen his power of the Qajar dynasty in Iran. The authors believe that the political achievement of Aga Muhammеd-кhan, was the result of reliable and timely support from his allies. The article also pays much attention to the relationship between Aga Muhammеd-кhan, Qajar and the Transcaucasian rulers at the end of the 18th century. The chosen topic for research seems to the authors to be an extremely promising direction for further research, since the Don has only been partially touched upon in Russian Caucasian studies.
