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

[1][2] In the spring of 1501, the Crimean Tatars organized a campaign against the western Circassians.

[3] As revenge, in the autumn of 1501, the Circassians raided the vicinity of the Azov Fortress.

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.
