Abstract :
Because of some political developments in Anatolia and Azerbaijan, and with the impact of Azerbaijan-based Safavi religious sect in the XVth century andat the beginning of the XVIth there were several displacements between these two regions in the context of socio-cultural relationship. Especially, in the second half of the XVth century there were such mass migrations because either the increasing of Safavi propoganda in Anatolia or reconstructing in the Ottoman, played a great role in socio-economic exchange between the Ottoman and Azerbaijan. In this period, many Turkmen tribes moved from Anatolia to Azerbaijan as the Safavi followers and formed the main power of Safavids. Despite the preemtive measures by the Ottoman rulers, the movement from Anatolia to Azerbaijan was not prevented. Consequently, with the strengthening of Safavi religious sect in the capital of Ardabil, some Turkmen groups that were the Ottoman subjects, increased their support to Shah Ismail and this situation played a great role in the establishment of Safavi State. In a short period of time, becoming stronger, Safavids started to threaten the Ottoman Empire openly after 1510. The age and dervish factor of Bayazid the II facilitated the Safavids activities in the Ottoman. With the victory of Chaldiran in 1514 as the result of political, religious, economic, national and military measures by Sultan Selim, the plunder of Safavids was partially prevented, but as the state policy the Safavids continued their impact on the Ottoman with the Celali rebels and the movements from Anatolia to Safavi state continued during the XVIth century.
