...leads Shah ‘Abbas, who he is unable to fight a war on two fronts simultaneously, to sign a humiliating peace treaty with the Ottomans on May 21, thus freeing himself for an offensive against the Uzbeks.

The treaty of Ferhat Pasha, named for the commander of the Ottoman forces, cedes to the Ottomans large areas in west and northwest Persia, including the provinces of Azerbaijan, Karabagh, Ganja and Qarajadagh as well as parts of Georgia, Luristan and Kurdistan.
