The Ochakiv Campaign (1670) was a Cossack siege of the Turkish fortress of Achi-Kale led by Ivan Sirko and the Crimean Tatars and their Turkish allies.
History[edit]
1670 was famous for Sirko's three campaigns against the Crimean Tatars.[according to whom?] The memoirist[which?] wrote about one of the first campaigns: "Sirko with several detachments of Zaporozhian Cossacks strongly attacked the Tatars, but did not want to fight with Christians, as he publicly admitted." Sirko himself later reported to the tsar about the successful July siege of the Turkish fortress of Ochakiv and the capture of large amounts of booty (prisoners, horses and cattle, movable property). He asked the ruler to send the Kalmyks to help the Cossacks and to send cannons with ammunition to go on a sea campaign.[1]
