Ivane Akhaltsikheli

He was member of the House of Toreli-Akhaltsikheli,[1] and the brother of Shalva Akhaltsikheli.

Local Meskhetian forces under Ivane Akhaltsikheli, Shalva Akhaltsikheli and Sargis Tmogveli had been blockading Kars intermittently for some years, and Queen Tamar decided to send a special army under David Soslan and brothers Zakaria and Ivane Mkhargrdzelis to smash the resistance.

The emir of Kars asked the Shah-Armens for help, but its rulers did not provide any assistance.

After the long siege, the emir of Kars, seeing that no assistance was coming, decided to hand over his domain to Georgians in exchange for a large amount of money and a fiefdom for him.
