Abstract

Safavid doctrine was initially favorite with many of its proponents. For that reason, the Safavid diverted all their preaching attempts towards Anatolia. Claiming that they are Alavi and Seyyed, they could attract Anatolia Alavis who were dissatisfied with Ottoman Empire. Anatolia Alavis also played the main role in Shah Ismail's uprising and in promoting the Safavid doctrine to the Safavid sovereignty. The Safavid support of Anatolia Alavis brought about some tensions between both Safavid and Ottoman governments. This research attempts to scientifically and systematically study the role of Anatolia Alavis in social and political relations between the Ottomans and Safavid. The author of current research seeks to answer the questions that what the role of Anatolia Alavis was regarding the Safavid and Ottoman relations. In response to the abovementioned question, two hypotheses are put forth: i. The Safavid support of Anatolia Alavis led to the Alavis' uprising against the Ottoman Empire; hence, strained relations between two governments. ii. Immigration of Anatolia Alavis from the Ottoman to Iranian territory cause some various economical and social problems for the Ottoman sovereignty; hence, the conflict between the two states.
