Jahangir Khan Ajudanbashi

Jahangir Khan Ajudanbashi (1834–1891) was an Iranian Armenian military officer and diplomat from the Enikolopian family, who was active during the reign of the Qajar shah (king) Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1848–1896). He was the son of Solayman Khan Saham al-Dowleh, who had relocated to Iran from Tiflis. Because of Solayman Khan's reputation, Jahangir Khan was able to win Naser al-Din Shah's support and make substantial progress in his career.[1][2] Jahangir died on 23 August 1891.[1]
