Abstract

 This scientific article comprehensively analyzes the acute geopolitical rivalry that arose between the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid state at the beginning of the 16th century, its factors of origin, and its wide-ranging impact on the political structures in the region at that time, based on scientific sources. The study examines the dynamics of the development of territorial interests, religious-ideological conflicts, and military-strategic confrontations between the two states, and sheds light on the historical significance of the Battle of Chaldiran, its short- and long-term consequences in a scientifically based manner. In addition, the impact of this rivalry not only on the political rivals of the Middle East, the system of international relations, and the balance of power in the Muslim East is explained based on an analytical approach. The article aims to deeply reveal the place of Ottoman-Safavid relations in historical processes, and substantiates the strategic importance of this topic in regional and world history from a scientific point of view.
