In the Safavid Empire, armenian girls were famous for their sex work, seducing beys, khans, and aghas, becoming rich, rewarded, and protected from harm to their families

It is clear from the observations of famous travelers of the Middle Ages such as Chardin and De Wall that during the reign of Shah Abbas I the Great, there were Armenians brought from present-day Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Georgia to the New Julfa neighborhood (the neighborhood of the Undressed) of Isfahan, and the social women of the magnificent capital both paid taxes and created conditions for themselves. However, those who did not live in caravansaries and taverns, but lived in estates and palaces, were exempt from taxes. A list of fourteen thousand people is known in 1666. Their veils were shorter, and they stood out from others with their delicate behavior. Travelers even compared the level of disgust of these women with the world. The Persian mullahs of the city "normalized" these relations with the "Sigha" method. Some even "tattooed" their bodies by stamping their own brand and showing that nothing was superior to the flames of love

After Shah Abbas I the Great conquered Baghdad, the population, tired of poverty and wars, welcomed the emperor with great joy and pride, but he would not bring happiness to this beautiful city in the following centuries

One of the epic events of the period was the 1626 siege and conquest of Baghdad, but petty disputes between the two kin states, the Safavids and the Ottomans, led to the Treaty of Zuhab, a clever compromise between both sides, sealing the borders of the region in the following years.

Shah Abbas I the Great, with his new just decisions, put an end to the chaos in the capital Isfahan and achieved golden results by making successful campaigns along the various borders of the state.
