The siege of Kars was part of the Caucasian front of the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829. Russian troops, under the command of Count Ivan Paskevich, besieged the Turkish fortress of Kars. The siege lasted approximately three days (June 20–23), much of which was devoted to laying the first parallel and installing siege weapons. Following the assault on June 23, the Kars fortress fell to the onslaught of Russian arms.
