Özet:

As a result of the wars with Iran and the Ottoman Empire in the South Caucasus, Russia was able to connect the region to himself [Gulistan (1813), Turkmençay (1828) and Edirne (1829) Treaties]. During this historical process, Russia included the Revan Khanate within its borders with the Turkmenchay Treaty signed as a result of the 1826-1828 Russian-Iran war, and established an Armenian province under Russian administration on the Revan Khanate, Nakhchivan Khanate and Ordubad lands. There were different opinions in Russia's process of establishing the Russian administration in the region. The first is to ensure that Christians who are close to Russia in the seized lands are connected to Russia by increasing the political, social and economic power of the region, and the other is to ensure order without interfering with the social structure of the region by following balanced policies between Muslims and Christians, on the other hand, It is the desire of the region to be connected to Russia without any problems by making the Muslim people sympathize with Russia. The fact that the social and ethnic structure of the region was open to problems and the administrative, political, social and economic structure formed in the region as a result of the historical past were quite different from the Russian system emerged as the most important problem that Tsarist Russia faced when establishing its own administration in this region. Therefore, it took a long time to establish the desired Russian administration in the region. Here, in this article, the administrative structure established by Russia in the Revan Khanate, Nakhchivan Khanate and Ordubad lands in the light of Russian sources is discussed in this process and the process of transforming the region into an Armenian Oblast is examined
