Life
He was born on 8 May 1833 to Jafargulu Bakikhanov and Chimnaz khanum in Quba. Enrolling at age of 14 in Tbilisi Corps of Cadets, he wanted to pursue military career just like his father. He sometime later moved on to study at Page Corps. After study, despite his origin, served in the ranks of the cavalry detachments of the mountain police as an ordinary, and then as a non-commissioned officer.
In 1854, he received the Mark of the Distinction a military order, which was the highest award for soldiers and non-commissioned officers for combat services and for courage against the enemy. On 8 (20) September 1859 he was transferred and stationed under provision of his father, serving in Special Caucasian Corps with his younger brother Ahmad Bakikhanov. He participated in many campaigns and was a decorated soldier. He served in Russian embassy in Qajar Iran sometime.[1] He retired in 1880 after being promoted to major general.
He was accused of being tyrant and blackmailing his rivals. In one case, he got one critical subject from Əmirxanlı - Agha beg Bedirkhanbekov imprisoned in Baku and accused him of being sympathetic to Muridism, despite that Agha beg was a shiite.[2]
