The capture of Erivan ([تصرف ایروان Tasarof-e Īravān] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help); [Взятие Эривани Vzyatie E'rivani] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) took place on 1 October 1827, during the Russo-Persian War of 1826–28. The city fell to the Russians after being besieged for a week and opened up the path for the eventual capture of Tabriz, the second largest city in Persia and an important trading post.[1]
Background
Capture
Aftermath
As a result of the capture of Tabriz, the Shah Fath-Ali Shah Qajar sued for peace which resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Turkmenchay in 1828. Under the treaty, the Erivan Khanate (present-day Armenia) and Nakhichevan Khanate (present-day Azerbaijan) were ceded to the Russian Empire.[2]
