Eastern Caucasus is a polically neutral term describing the location of the kingdom of Kartlo-Kakheti, known as Georgia, and the Muslim-ruled khanates that had been part of Iran and became part of Russia. In contrast, Transcaucasia reflects a Russian perspective, while the Iranian names, apart from presuming that country's hegemony over the region at a time when that was hotly contested, are subject to confusingly different interpretations. In Safavi times, Azerbaijan was applied to all the Muslim-ruled khanates of the eastern Caucasus as well as to the area south of the Aras River as far as the Qezel Uzan River, the latter region being approximately the same as the modern Iranian ostans of East and West Azerbaijan. It seemed clearer to me to use Azerbaijan only for the southern part of the province that has remained under Iranian control. ]

Khanates of the Caucasus were Persian ruled principalities on the territory of modern day Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Dagestan from the Safavid dynasty era to 1806. These principalities arose during the domination of Iran. During the period of Iranian domination, head of principality was a Khan. Although, the khan could act within certain independence, he was vassal of the Iranian shah (King). Persia permanently lost these khanates to Russia as a result of the Russo-Persian Wars. Today most of the khanate make up the modern Republic of Azerbaijan. The khanates, ultimately swallowed up by Russian Empire, are:
