Yerits Mankants Monastery
Yerits Mankants Monastery () is a 17th-century Armenian monastery, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan. The monastery is located in the mountains to the west of Maghavuz, southwest of Tonashen, and close to the fortress of Jraberd.

The monastery was established by the feudal family of Melik-Israelians, Lords of Jraberd, with an apparent purpose to rival the Holy See of Gandzasar.

Treaty Of Constantinople (1724)
The Treaty of Constantinople (,) Russo-Ottoman Treaty or Treaty of the Partition of Persia (''Iran Mukasemenamesi'') was a treaty concluded on 24 June 1724 between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire, dividing large portions of the territory of mutually neighbouring Safavid Iran between them. The Russians and the Ottomans were engaged in a race to occupy more Iranian territories and were about to engage in a war over the occupation of Gandjeh when France intervened.

Ottoman–Hotaki War (1726–1727)
The Ottoman–Hotaki War of 1726–1727 was a conflict fought between the Ottoman Empire and the Hotak dynasty, over control of all western and northwestern parts of Iran. The Afghan Hotaks had overthrown the Safavid dynasty from power in Persia, and began centralizing rule in Iran after the battle of Gulnabad and siege of Isfahan. The Ottomans capitalized off the Hotak expansion to invade the waning Safavids, which brought conflict with the Hotaks, who saw themselves as the legitimate rulers of all Persia, and demanded the Ottomans withdraw. The Hotaks further made demands that the Ottomans rejected, declaring war in response. An Ottoman force of 50,000 or 300,000 was assembled, and began their invasion of Persia. Meeting the Afghans in battle at Khorramabad, who numbered only 15–20,000, the Ottoman army was completely routed and defeated. A peace treaty was made, with the Afghans being recognized as rulers of all Persia by the Ottomans, as well as ceding lands gained ba ...
