In the administration of Safavid Period, there was a council, called Jānḳi. It entered to the Safavid Rule from the Mongol and Timurid Periods, and evolved. The main tasks of the council were giving advice to the King and resolve the matters related to the war and succession of Safavid Kings. Some of the members of this council were senior and influential officials in the Safavid State that Grand Secretary (Vazir-e-Aՙzam) has headed them. In the studies of Safavid Period, this council with other councils has been mixed and it is not considered as an independent council. This research is seeking to prove this hypothesis that Madjma‘ of Jānḳi was a complete independent Council and in various aspects was different from other concils. This study, relying on historical evidence, surveys on Jānḳi Council, from the respect of name, members, functions and its importance in the bureacracy of Safavid State and as it turned out seven senior ranking oficials of the Safavid organization were major and permanentRead phonetically members of Jānḳi. In record of this council is seen two topics: 1. Military affairs 2. Issue of succession appointment. Considering the importance of this two topics , political and administrative position of (the association) members, this council can be called as supreme council of Safavid Court.
