| description | The Qajars were a Turkish dynasty that had came to power in Persia under the rule Agha Muhammad Khan had established in 1795. The Qajar Dynasty, held power in Persia for about 130 years and had tried to implement a succession system not based on written rules in line with the will of Agha Muhammad Khan. This succession system raised objections among his princes after Feth Ali Shah ascended the throne. After the death of Crown Prince Abbas Mirza in particular, the objections raised against the system turned into a direct struggle for the throne, resulting in the death of Feth Ali Shah. The princes and members of the dynasty who’d been defeated in the struggle preferred to leave Persia and take refuge in the Ottoman Empire, continuing their lives in Ottoman territory for a long time. This study examines the struggle for the throne this succession system that had been attempted to be implemented in the Qajar Dynasty hadcaused, as well as the status of the dynasty members who’d taken refuge in the Ottoman Empire as a result. The article attempts to reveal these in line with the Persian and Turkish literature and Ottoman archive documents. |
