Aslan-bey Melik-Yeganyan (Armenian: Ասլան բեկ Մելիք-Եգանյան, 1787—1832) is the naib (deputy) of the Dizak region, the ancestor of the Malik-Aslanov family and a grandfather of Azerbaijani politician Khudadat bey Malik-Aslanov.
He was born in 1787 the village of Tugh village of Dizak and was descended from the Avanid dynasty.[1]
Aslan-bey with his brother Vagan and father Baghdad-bey were forcibly converted to Islam.[2] Under the son of the last Mehdigulu Khan (1806—1822), Aslan-bey served as minbashi (chief of troops).[3]
Historian Mir Mehdi Khazani writes in his work Kitabi-tarikhi-Karabagh (History of Karabakh), "But later, during the era of the late Mehdigulu Khan and the state of Russia, Malik Aslan-bey and his sons again found progress and became governors and viceroys of the districts.[4] Sardar (commander) Paskevich spent some time with the army in Takhti-tavus in Karabakh, which is in the district of Dizak. Aslan-bey Dizaki has been very worthy in the service of sardar Paskevich since then. During his reign he prepared a lot of copper and supplies for the army, and satisfied the commander and the army".
Some villages in this region were also under his control.[5] According to the inventories of 1823, 1832, 1848-1849, 1863, all the main members of the clan (meaning the descendants of melik Aslan and his brothers) are shown among the beys.
Melik Aslan-bey died in 1832 and was buried in the village of Tugh.
Aslan-bey's sons included Shirin-bey, Farhad-bey, Aligulu-bey, Firudin-bey, Najaf-bey, Abbas-bey, and Agha-bey. Melik Aslan was the grandfather of Khudadat bey Malik-Aslanov.
One of his sons, Farhad-bey, was met by the novelist Raffi in 1881.[6] Farhad-bey became a Turk and moved away from his native roots. Islamized descendants began to be called Melik-Aslanovs and all the state of the family passed to them, leaving the Christian descendants without an inheritance.
The historian Leo Babakhanian, wrote,[7] "These Islamized Armenians are now beys of the village of Tugh under Armenian surnames - Melik-Aslanov and Melik-Yeganov. But religion consigned to oblivion all the national duties of the distant descendants of Armenian meliks."
