Avag Zakarian (Georgian: ავაგ მხარგრძელი, romanized:avag mkhargrdzeli; Armenian: Ավագ Զաքարյան) (died 1250 AD) was an Armenian noble of the Zakarid line,[1][2] and a Court official of the Kingdom of Georgia, as atabeg and amirspasalar of Georgia from 1227 to 1250.[3]
The eastern areas Bjni, Gegharkunik, Vayots-dzor, Artsakh, Siunik, Nakhichevan, Dvin and Yerevan were under the jurisdiction of the atabeg Ivane Mkhargrdzeli and his son Avag. First Dvin and later Bjni were centres of this division. The subjects of Ivane’s family were the Orbelians, Khaghbakians, Dopians, Hasan-Jalalyan and others.
His sister, Tamta, through forced marriages to members of the Saladin and Khwarazmian dynasties, and capture by the Mongol empire, served as governor, regent, or ruler of Akhlat at points throughout the early 13th century.[4]
