They lost right to an independent foreign policy.

In June 1806, the royal troops sent by Abbas Mirza entered Karabakh. At that time, Ibrahimkhalil
Khan, who was in Khankend with his family, was attacked by Russian troops without any reason
on the orders of Major D.Lisanevich.

Khan and his relatives were killed. This incident enraged Salim Khan. He expelled the Russian
troops from Sheki. This meant a demonstrative violation of the Kurekchay treaty by Sheki Khan.

The next target of the Russians was the Baku Khanate. Sisianov went to Baku. While he was on
his way, Baku was attacked by the Russian fleet from the sea. The Russians landed in Baku. Baku
Khan rejected their request to surrender the Baku fortress. Seeing that the fortress would not
be surrendered willingly, the Russians set fire to the fortress. Important strategic points of the
khanate were captured.

Advancing from Shamakhi with a large group of troops, Sisianov reached two kilometers from
Baku at the beginning of 1806 and stopped. He demanded the surrender of the fortress, and
Huseyngulu Khan sent a draft agreement that made the Baku Khanate fully dependent on
Russia. Tsitsianov was killed by Ibrahim, the cousin of Huseinqulu Khan.
