The Khazars and Arabs fight each other…

732 CE

The Khazars and Arabs fight each other directly in Armenia in the 720s, and, though victory passes repeatedly from one side to the other, Arab counterattacks eventually compel the Khazars to permanently withdraw north of the Caucasus.

(The Khazars' initial victories have the effect of permanently blocking Arab expansion northward into eastern Europe.)

The prominence and influence of the Khazar state continues to be reflected in its close relations with the Roman emperors.

The future emperor Constantine V takes a Khazar wife in 732, as had Justinian II in 704.
