History
The Persians settled in Persia in the west and south of Urmia Lake in their migration to Iran, but then migrated
They went on to Pars land (Fars province). The Urmia plain was in ancient times in the territory of the Medes, Assyrians, and other tribes.
Shah Abbas, after expelling Ottomans from Iran, has sought to establish a tribal outpace for a powerful reign in the western part of the country. For this, Shah Abbas considered Il Afshar, a resident of Abidur of Khorasan, and other places.
He summoned Qalbali Sultan Imanului Afshar to the name of Khani and the head of the office of Il Afshar. Then he ordered that Ilah Afshar, who had a large number and settled in the provinces of Iraq, Persia, Kerman and Khorasan, moved with all their abilities in the Urmia plain.
In this displacement, eight thousand households from the six large tribes of the tribe settled in the Urmia plain, and the governorate of this area was in the hands of Kleb Ali Khan. The text of Shah 'Abbas I's command addressed to Kalba'l-Khan, which caused the movement of Eli.
The same background has led some of the tribal leaders, especially after the establishment of the new army in Iran, to be in command posts.
