Huseyn Quli Khan Qaragozlu (General Staff, 1916-1923)

Amir-i-Nizam Husain Quli Khan




Amir-i-Nizam (498, where he appears under his earlier title of Sardar-i-Akram, now held by his younger brother, the son-in-low of Vossugh-ed-Dowleh). He is head of the influential Qaragozhe family of Hamadan. He has not previously held office as a Minister, but was Governor-General of Kermanshah, in which post he did well, and of which he was only deprived to make room for Sarem-ed-Dowleh when the latter resigned the portfolio of Finance in Vossugh-ed-Dowleh’s Cabinet. He is not a person of strong character, but he is very honest and sincere and universally respected. Having been educated in England, he has always maintained intimate relations with this Legation.
