A battle under the walls of Akhaltsikhe during the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829 on August 9 (August 21 O.S., 1828) between 9,000 Russians under Field-Marshal Paskevich and 30,000 Turks under Kios-Mahomet-Pasha.
Paskevich’s departure to Warsaw and bad relations with subsequent governor generals forced him to return to Tabriz in 1845.
