Aras Khan

Aras Khan, also Aras Khan Rumlu was a member of the Rumlu tribe of Turkomen Qazilbash nomads, and Safavid Empire Beylerbey of Shirvan.
During the Ottoman–Safavid War (1578–1590), the Ottoman Empire sultan Murad III ordered the Crimeans to fight the Persians near the southwest corner of the Caspian Sea. Mehmed sent 20,000 men under his brothers Adil, Mubarak and Gazi. After a 3-month march along the north side of the Caucasus and down the Caspian coast in November they reached Safavid Shirvan and joined Özdemiroğlu Osman Pasha. They completely defeated 25,000 Persians under Shirvan Beylerbey Aras Khan Rumlu who were besieging Shamakhi.
The battle for Shamakhi began on 9 November 1578 and lasted for several days. On the morning of the third day, the brother of the Crimean Khan, Adil Giray, at the head of 15 thousand Tatar horsemen, came to the aid of the Ottomans, this decided the outcome of the battle and the Safavids were defeated. Aras Khan and his son were taken prisoners by the mirakhur Adil Giray and were executed. The losses on both sides were enormous.
This victory gave control of the Western Caspian region to the Ottomans, giving them access to Azerbaijan and Armenia. They moved south to the Mugan plain where they defeated the Rumlu tribe of Qazilbash nomads. During this period, the Georgians allied with the Ottomans
