Siege of Erivan (1808)

The Siege of Erivan took place in 1808, during the Russo-Persian War of 1804-1813. As in 1804, the Iranians successfully defended the city and forced the Russians to withdraw.

Alexander I was severely dissatisfied; when he heard about Gudovich's failure, he named his expedition as "stupid", and without any sort of compassion, sent him into retirement.
