Hi Amir Ghandi. With all due respect, I think you're misunderstanding what the source says;
"The Treaty of Amasya (962/1555) gave Persia a twenty-year respite from the hostilities with the Ottomans which had gone on intermittently for forty years. Under the terms of the Treaty, Georgia was divided into "spheres of influence" between the two parties, and the Ottoman-Safawid frontier in the north-west was demarcated without the cession by the Safawids of large areas of territory. These terms, in the circumstances favourable to the Safawids, are clear evidence of the frustration felt by the Ottoman sultan at his inability to inflict a decisive defeat on the Safawids."
From what I understand, the Safavids were fortunate in that the treaty could have gone a lot worse, that the Ottomans didn't inflict a worse (decisive) defeat against them.
