Overview

A treaty signed in Jumada al-Akhira 1123 AH in the reign of Sultan Ahmed III, after Ottoman forces had besieged the Russian tsar Peter. 2

The report

Al-Salabi relates that the Ottoman holy warriors besieged the tsar, his mistress and two hundred thousand men with them, who were nearly taken captive. Then the grand vizier Baltaci Pasha lifted the siege, which al-Salabi describes as treason. 2

The treaty required the Russians to evacuate Azov and undertook not to interfere in the affairs of the Cossacks. The sultan then dismissed the grand vizier. 2
