Years: 732 - 732

Suluk, who in 728 had taken Bukhara and later on still had inflicted painful defeats such as the Battle of the Defile upon the Arabs, has discredited Umayyad rule and perhaps laid the foundations for the Abbasid Revolt.

The Turgesh state is at its apex of glory, controlling Sogdiana, the Ferghana Valley.

It is only in 732 that two powerful Arab expeditions to Samarkand manage, if with heavy losses, to reestablish Caliphal authority in the area; Suluk renounces his ambitions over Samarkand and abandons Bukhara, withdrawing north.
