The subject of the study was genealogy Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran in 1795-1925. Documentary sources indicate Gara Piri bey (XV century – 1513), first beglyarbek Karabakh with center Ganja (now Azerbaijan) as earliest ancestor dynasty.

In 2007, Y-DNA two modern representatives different lines conducted. Tests have shown both really originate recent common paternal and belong haplogroup J1-M267, widespread Middle East. However, apart genetic confirmation origin these declaration marginality ancestral legend, there is virtually no analysis work gives definitive answer question itself. development this work, more in-depth by new generation sequencing methods carried out. indigenous population northern regions Azerbaijan has been revealed.
