The capture of Erivan (Persian: گرفتن ایروان – Gereftan e Iravān; Russian: Взятие Эривани – Vzyatiye Erivani) 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 Iran and an important trading post.[1]
