This treaty is the first treaty in Ottoman history by which the empire agreed to lose territory.[4][unreliable source?] (The first treaty in European theater in which the empire agreed to lose territory would be the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699.) On the other hand, this treaty was a big success for Abbas. By the treaty he both increased his realm and restored Safavid prestige. However, Abbas refused to pay the tribute. So the war newed in 1615.
