Years: 1639 - 1639
...the Persians retain Erivan.
The accord ends the war that had begun in 1623 and is the last conflict in almost one hundred and fifty years of intermittent wars between the two states over territorial disputes.
The border of Mesopotamia with Persia becomes the eastern boundary of the Ottoman Empire.
Nevertheless, border disputes between Persia and the Ottoman Empire do not end.
Between 1555 and 1918, Persia and the Ottomans will sign no less than eighteen treaties that readdress their disputed borders.
The exact demarcation according to this treaty will not begin until the nineteenth century, essentially laying out the rough outline for the frontier between modern day Iran and the states of Turkey and Iraq (the former Ottoman-Persian border until 1918, when the Ottoman Turks lost their territories in the Middle East following their defeat in the First World War.)
