There is allot of propaganda going on about Safavid origin. For example. Turkish Wikipedia doesn't point out the Sufi Orders origin and where they came from, while literally using Britannica as source which clearly speaks about the Kurdish origin of this order.
The Safavid Dynasty was a hard mix between Kurdish locals in Northwest Iran, Turkmens and allot of Persians. But the building origin, the Sufi Order were Kurds who came straight from Diyarbakir.

Safaviyya and later kizilbas order was started by Safavi Shaykhs in Ardabil.
Yes majority of the supporting Uymayqs at that time were in east Anatolia but not all ... large Halebi Shamlu and Qajar are examples.
I never said that anything related to ethnicity ????
What I was mentioning was that some modern day Turkish historian claims that kizilbas and Safaviyya ideology was a spiritual descendant of 8th century Khorammites (babak Khoramdin) and Kayasanite (Al-Mukhtar) like early movements referred as Shia Ghulat belief. Its their opinion, true or not is for the reader to decide. It has nothing to do with ethnicity.

I was not talking about times of Shah Ismail death. I was talking about the kizilbas continuation after that, which is why I gave example of Ziadalu Khan. Sense of country developed quickly among these tribes which is why each ruling clan did its best to restore territorial integrity.
Battle of Chaldiran marked the boundary between Ottomans and Iranian territory. It was breached many times afterwards from both sides but Chaldiran was definitely a boundary marker event. As for tribal continuation beyond borders, same is true for almost any ethnicity which lives on borders like Kurdish and Luri tribes extending into Iraq but boundary is still there.
Its normal. Every group has its own versions of history.
