The Crimean Campaign against Hatuqay (1551) was led by the Crimean Khan Sahib I Giray against the Principality of Hatuqay led by Prince Aledjuq. The campaign was triggered by the Hatuqay refusal to pay slaves tax to the Crimean Khanate, and the goal was the annexation of Hatuqay; which failed, although Hatuqay lands were ravaged.
