About the battle
The siege of Shamakhi was a phase in the Ottoman–Safavid war (1603–1612) that resulted in the Safavid army's success and Shamakhi's return to Iranian rule after 28 years. During the siege, Baku and Derbent also surrendered to the Iranian army, allowing the Safavid state to regain control of Azerbaijan and Dagestan. As a result, the Safavids were able to regain all the lands they had lost during the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1578–1590 between 1603 and 1607.
