Army
Karabakh Khanate never had a permanent army, but those who were a certain age and had the ability to serve in the military were written in special register. When it was necessary, soldiers were called together with local landlords, maliks and beks. The persons whose names were included in the register with volunteers created the Army of Karabakh Khanate, but they were deployed only in cases of real war or emergency. Sometimes,especially in urgent circumstances, the soldiers from Dagestan were invited and joined to companies. For example, when Agha Muhammad Khan Gajar seized Shusha for 33 days, part of soldiers who was defending Shusha was soldiers from Dagestan. During ruling of Ibrahim Khalil Khan the Army Register contained more than 12.000 names. All spendings of army during the campaign was paid by Khan.

Famous quotes containing the word army:
“We should have an army so organized and so officered as to be capable in time of emergency, in cooperation with the National Militia, and under the provision of a proper national volunteer law, rapidly to expand into a force sufficient to resist all probable invasion from abroad and to furnish a respectable expeditionary force if necessary in the maintenance of our traditional American policy which bears the name of President Monroe.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The army is the true nobility of our country.”
—Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
