Muhammad Hasan, Khan of Ganja

Muhammad Hasan Khan (died 1785) was Khan of Ganja from 1760 to 1780. He was from the Ziyad-ogli branch of the Qajar family. He came to power after the murder of his father, Shah Verdi Khan, with the Georgian help. In 1780, the alliance of Georgia and the Karabakh khanate brought his rule to an end. Ganja became a Georgian-Karabakh condominium. Muhammad was taken to captivity in Karabakh and killed in 1785 during the revolt of Ganja against the foreign rule led by Muhammad's relative Hajji Beg.[1]
