Khazar troops through the Darial Pass

conquered Azerbaijan and Armenia and northern Iraq for a brief time.

late 930s Khazar baliqchi Pesakh defeated the Rus.
According to an anonymous letter written by a Khazarian Jew in the
940s, the Rus prince Oleg captured the Khazar-held city Tmutorokan one
night. Pesakh, a prominent Khazar baliqchi (governor), learned of
Oleg’s actions and conquered several Crimean cities belonging to the
Byzantines and also did away with many Rus. Oleg was badly
defeated, and was forced to surrender to Governor-General Pesakh.
This was a major Khazar victory over the Rus.
