The Doge's refusal

[edit]

The point should be made that the traditional trade on which Venice was established from the beginning was with the Ottoman empire, even after Lepanto (1571). Accepting an overture from Persia could have had financial consequences disastrous for Venice, who was negotiating for Ottoman support.--Wetman (talk) 19:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
