History
Battle of Nasakirali (1905)
On 20 October 1905, during the
Tsarist authority. The Cossacks were repulsed in battle by a number of armed Gurians (between 1,000 and 4,000; sources differ), with fourteen Cossacks being killed.[2] Before further expeditions could be sent, Staroselski and intelligentsia from Tiflis dissuaded Vorontso-Dashkov, who hoped negotiations could continue.[3]
An obelisk was built to commemorate the battle in 1965.
