 Shah Abbas I ordered a general massacre in Bradost and Mukriyan (reported by Iskandar Beg Turkoman, Safavid Historian in the Book "Alam Aray-e Abbasi") and resettled the Afshar tribe in the region while deporting many Kurdish tribes to Khorasan region.Although Safavid historians (like Iskandar Beg ) depicted the first battle of Dimdim as a result of Kurdish mutiny or treason, in Kurdish oral traditions (Beytî Dimdim), literary works (Dzhalilov, pp.67–72), and histories, it was treated as a struggle of the Kurdish people against foreign domination.
