Bektash Mirimanidze

Bektash Khan, also known as Bektash Khan Gorji (d. 1639), was a Safavid official and gholam who served as the governor (beglarbeg) of Baghdad between 1631-1638, during the reign of king Safi (r. 1629-1642). His tenure was brought to an end in 1638 when the Ottomans captured the city during the ongoing Ottoman-Safavid War of 1623-39.

Bektash was a member of the Mirimanidze clan, whose members had steadily risen through the Safavid ranks with the advent of the reign of king Abbas I (1588-1629), but had held influential positions priorly as well. After the death of his nephew Safiqoli Khan (Mirman Mirimanidze), Bektash succeeded him to the governorship of Baghdad. Following the successful recapture of Baghdad in 1624, the Iranians subsequently defended it against several Ottoman attacks, and, prior to the 1638 siege, Bektash had made extensive repairs to the fortifications that were damaged in the previous sieges. He also built extensive outworks to prevent the enemy from approaching the walls as well. During the Ottoman siege of 1638, Bektash offered tough resistance, and it took them almost six weeks to take the city. Bektash died a year after the fall of Baghdad.
