message: Hey, I realize I should've just tweaked the sentence instead of adding that tag (Gvosdev appears to have a M.Phil in Russian and Eastern European Studies so the source is fine), but what I tried to say (or better yet, "wanted" to say!) is that there appears to be no consensus about the outcome of the 1804 battle at Echmiadzin. Some call it an inconclusive fight, while others call it an Iranian victory or a Russian victory:

"His first objective was the Armenian religious center at Echmiadzin, where he encountered Abbas's army of 18,000. While the Russian artillery inflicted heavy damage, the Iranians showed that they were effective soldiers in their own way. The battle was an Iranian victory in that the Russians failed to take the monastery and had to withdraw."

thread_title:  Tag 

message: @Kober: Hello, I would like to suggest to delete the label "illegitimate" that is used for one of Prince Alexander's children. The reasons are listed as follows:
# Several articles such as npr and news24 state that children are NEVER illegitimate. It does not seem fair to use such a label or its synonyms for any children. 
# Such a claim about someone's child must be supported by several independent articles. In the case of Prince Alexander's child, only one reference is provided. Even then, the child has no guilt or sin of its own to be called or labeled as such.
# Prince Alexander spent most of his life in 1800's in Persia. The rules, traditions, and standards of marriage were different in Persia from Georgia or Russia. It is likely that he followed the local traditions and legally married in Persia, as he did in one of his marriages, which was with Princess Maria Aghamalyan. But, some people unfamiliar with or opposing to the traditions or standards did not recognize the marriage as legal, and their opinions made it to the source. 
Thanks
