About the event

Aftermath

This treaty is the first treaty in Ottoman history by which the empire agreed to lose territory. (The first treaty in European theater in which the empire agreed to lose territory would be the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699). On the other hand, this treaty was a huge success for Shah Abbas as he had increased his realm and restored Safavid prestige. However, Shah Abbas refused to pay the tribute and the war was renewed in 1615.
