Ali-Qoli Beg of Kartli


Ali-Qoli Beg was a Safavid official, who briefly served as governor of Kartli together with his brother Emamqoli Beg, during the reign of king Abbas I.
He was appointed as governor of Kartli together with his brother when Abbas I launched his punitive campaigns in Georgia.
Ali-Qoli Beg and his brother Emamqoli Beg were the sons of Behbud Agha, a Georgian gholam of Mohammad Khan Tokhmaq Ustajlu, the former governor of the Erivan Province. Behbud Agha hailed from a Kartlian noble family, and had converted to Islam during his service to Mohammad Khan Tokhmaq.
In 1615, during the revolt in Georgia against the Safavid rule, Ali-Qoli Beg was killed.
