Uzun Hasan or Uzun Hassan (Azerbaijani: Uzun Həsən اوزون حسن; Persian: اوزون حسن; where uzun means "tall" in Oghuz Turkic; 1423 – January 6, 1478) was a ruler of the Turkoman[5] Aq Qoyunlu state and is generally considered to be its strongest ruler.[6] Hasan ruled between 1452 and 1478, and would preside over the confederation's territorial apex when it included parts or all of present-day Iraq, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, Transcaucasia and Syria.

The roots of the Persian Risorgimento under the Safavids (1502–1722) go deep into this preparatory period."
