Abstract:

The Ottoman state began to become a great state in the time of Fatih Sultan Mehmed. By the conquest of Istanbul, Eastern Rome was destroyed, from Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Euphrates height was considered an Ottoman country. While the necessity in the west, if necessary in the east, the Ottoman country was expanding, the Akkoyunlu ruler Long Hasan, like Fatih, was also in the idea of being a great state based on Turkmen in the east. Long Hasan saw him the Ottoman king Fatih Sultan Mehmed as a rival. He had come into solidarity with many elements from Venice to the Pope, from Karamano to his sons, Isfendiyar. Indeed, the two padišah had faced events, like the idea of dominating the territory of the Trabzon-Rum Empire, the question of the Karamano sons, the desire of dominating the other Turkmen monarchs in Anadolu. In fact, both the Padişah wanted to add their Anatolian lands to their country and govern the Turkmen. For reasons such as righteousness, expansion, security, the Ottomans who encountered in Otlukbeli, accepted their superiority by defeating the Akkoyunlists.
