Abd al-Aziz Khan (Bukhara)

Nadr Mohammad asked for help from the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who took advantage of this opportunity and marched his army to Balkh.

In 1647, Abd al-Aziz attacked the Mughal troops in Balkh, and after heavy fighting, eliminated the foreign invaders and appointed his brother Subhan Quli Khan as the governor of Balkh.

During the reign of Abd al-Aziz Khan, the diplomatic and commercial relations of the Khanate of Bukhara with Russia, Iran and India flourished.

Abdul Aziz Khan died in 1683 while performing the Hajj in Mecca.
