Emirhan Lepzerin
Emirhan Lepzerin [ ɛˈmiɾ χɐːn ləpzeːrin ] (English: poor gold ) also called Emîr Xan Lepzêrîn , was a Kurdish emir in the 17th century.
He ruled around Lake Urmia . He was a khan of the Golden Horde and ruler of Beradost . After he had rebuilt the DimDim fortress , the Shiite Shah Abbas the Great saw him as a danger. He besieged the fortress in 1606/1610 and finally conquered it ( Battle of Dimdim ). The Kurds were deported to Khorasan and the Turkish Afshars settled in their place . In the fight against the Shiite Abbas, Emirhan Lepzerin was also supported by the rulers of the Mukri , who controlled the area around what is now Mahabad . After Emirhan Lepzerin's defeat by Grand Vizier Hatem Beg , Shah Abbas ordered a massacre of the people of Beradost and Mahabad.
