Abstract: Shah Abbas’s ruling period (1587-1629) was one of the most interesting pages in the Safavid history. The diplomatic rise of that epoch is related to economic development of European countries. Therefore their interests were diverted to the East and to the Safavid State, in particular. At the same time military threats from the Ottoman Empire catalyzed development of diplomatic relations. In addition, for the considering of the events from the diplomatic life of the earlier historical period we have used the source “?hsanut-T?varix” by Hasan bey Rumlu. Ruling period of Shah Abbas I is very amply reflected in the «Tarix-i al?mara-yi Abbasi». The list of names of envoys from other literal sources is presented in the article. Namely, some events depicted in «Tarix-i al?mara-yi Abbasi» are reflected as published in English-language literature. At that time envoys were mainly appointed from loyal to Shah Turks. Thus, Azerbaijani Turk diplomats played very important role in the development of the Safavid foreign affairs.
Key words: the Hapsburg’s court, foreign policy, the Safavid’s dynasty, diplomatic agreement, emissary.
