The mainissue of the research is the reason for the establishment and continuation of Qajar residence in Estarabar. According to the author, contarary to the view of some contemporary scholar who consider forced displacement caused by Qajar settlement in this region, the way of establishing Qajar relations with neighboring tribes plays an essential role in their survival on the banks of the Gorgan River.
It is assumed that the forced tranfar in safavid period was not the only factor in the continuation of Qajar’s presence, and the results of the surveys show that the intelligence of the Qajar lesders in turning the Turkmen threat to the opportunity and the way of their relationship with their neighbors was an important favtor in their continued presence in the Estarabad region. Unlike the tribes, migrated by force such as the Georgians the Lezgis, the Afghans, the kurds and the Lords, they became frienda with the Turkmen, and environmental features have also made it possible to plan the political strategy of this tribe to get into power.
