The Azov War or Crimean-Circassian War of 1501–1502 was a military conflict between the Crimean Khanate and the Kabardian Principality.^[1]^[2]

History

In the spring of 1501, the Crimean Tatars organized a campaign against the western Circassians. The campaign ended with the defeat of the Tatars.^[3] As revenge, in the autumn of 1501, the Circassians raided the vicinity of the Azov Fortress. They stole the cattle and killed the chase. In response, in 1502, the Ottoman Turks organized a punitive campaign against the lands of the Circassians. But the campaign did not take place due to the death of the Kafsky governor.^[1]
