During the Qajar period, the Armenians of Iran, as a social group with their own characteristics, had a great influence on the political and economic developments of the country. This community, especially during the Iran-Russia wars, played a vital role due to its geographical location and trade relations. Armenians helped the Qajar government in the wars by creating extensive trade networks and providing financial resources. This research seeks to answer the following questions with a descriptive-analytical approach: 1- What was the role of the Armenians of Iran in providing financial and military resources for the Qajar government in the Iran-Russia wars and how did this role affect the course of the wars? 2- How have Armenians acted as mediators and political advisors in peace negotiations and agreements between Iran and Russia, and what impact have these interactions had on the social and political situation of Armenians in Iran? The findings of the study indicate that Iranian Armenians have acted as a key factor in strengthening the war fronts for the Qajar government by providing financial resources, goods, and manpower, which has had a positive impact on the course of the wars. Armenians, as mediators and political advisors in peace negotiations, have been able to help protect their interests and the Armenian community in Iran by using their mastery of different languages and cultures, and these interactions have led to the strengthening of their cultural and social identity.
