The Shi'i-Qizilbash propaganda of the Safavid state founded in Iran spread rapidly among the Turkmen populations of Anatolia, and the supporters of Shah Ismail raised revolts.

Bayezid II proved unable to cope effectively with this threat, and his son Selim forced him aside and took over the throne (1512). The roots of the Ottoman-Safavid conflict were laid in this period.
