Years: 1471 - 1471
The Venetian Senate, seeking allies in its war against the Ottomans, had in 1463 sent Lazzaro Querini as its first ambassador to Tabriz, but he had been unable to persuade Uzun Hasan to attack the Ottomans.
Hasan had sent his own envoys to Venice in return.
In 1471, Querini returns to Venice with Hasan's ambassador Murad.
The Venetian Senate votes to send another to Azerbaijan, choosing Caterino Zeno after two other men decline.
Zeno, whose wife is the niece of Uzun Hasan's wife Despina Khatun, is able to persuade Hasan to attack the Turks.
