	Around this time, the Safavid dynasty formed a secret alliance with Sultan [[Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri]] of the [[Mamluk Sultanate]] of [[Egypt]] against their common enemy, Sultan [[Bayezid II]] of the Ottoman Empire. During an Ottoman blockade of the roads north of [[Damascus]], then governed by the Mamluks, [[Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins\|Turkish Assassins]] protected local [[civilians]] by luring their army away from the city.
