Sultan Ahmed writes in 1614 to King …

Years: 1614 - 1614

Sultan Ahmed writes in 1614 to King Sigismund that he is sending Ahmed Pasha to punish “those bandits”, that this is not meant as a gesture of hostility to the Commonwealth, and that he asks of him not to be a host to fugitives; Ahmed Pasha writes hetman Żółkiewski asking for cooperation.

Żółkiewski answers that he has already done a lot in order to curb Cossack attacks, and that most of the Cossacks raiding Ottoman lands are not the Zaporozhian Cossacks of the Commonwealth, but rather Don Cossacks (and thus Muscovy subjects).

Żółkiewski's troops make another demonstration, but Ahmed Pasha does not attempt to cross the border, and settles for building new fortifications in the region of Ochakiv (Oczaków) in order to prevent future raids.
