Византијски извори помињу Турке Белог Овна од 1340[24], а као оснивач њихове државе помиње се Кара Осман (1378-1435)[25], који је као Тимуров савезник добио поседе у Малој Азији после битке код Ангоре 1402. Највећи успон доживели су под вођством Узун Хасана (1423-1478)[26], који је успешно ратовао против ривалске државе Кара Којунлу (Турци Црног Овна) и заузео Багдад и западни део Ирана[27], а у савезу са Млетачком републиком ратовао је са Османлијама, од којих је 1473. поражен. После његове смрти држава Белог Овна брзо опада, да би 1501. коначно пала под власт Персије Сафавида.[28]

In Diyarbakr, the Mowsillu overthrew Zeynal b. Ahmad and then later gave their allegiance to the Safavids when the Safavids invaded in 913/1507. The following year the Safavids conquered Iraq and drove out Soltan-Morad, who fled to Anatolia and was never again able to assert his claim to Aq Qoyunlu rule. It was therefore only in 1508 that the last regions of Aq Qoyunlu power finally fell to Esma‘il.”

Journal of Persianate Studies. 9 (1): 11. doi:10.1163/18747167-12341292. „The disintegration of Timur’s empire into a growing number of Timurid principalities ruled by his sons and grandsons allowed the remarkable rebound of the Ottomans and their westward conquest of Byzantium as well as the rise of rival Turko-Mongolian nomadic empires of the Aq Qoyunlu and Qara Qoyunlu in western Iran, Iraq, and eastern Anatolia. In all of these nomadic empires, however, Persian remained the official court language and the Persianate ideal of kingship prevailed.”

Ак Којунлу at Encyclopædia Iranica; "Christian sedentary inhabitants were not totally excluded from the economic, political, and social activities of the Āq Qoyunlū state and that Qara ʿOṯmān had at his command at least a rudimentary bureaucratic apparatus of the Iranian-Islamic type. [...] With the conquest of Iran, not only did the Āq Qoyunlū center of power shift eastward, but Iranian influences were soon brought to bear on their method of government and their culture."
