Abolish
[edit]When was it abolished 1866, 4 January 1867 or 4 January 1857. This and Principality of Mingrelia disagree on the dates.--The Emperor's New Spy (talk) 02:43, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
Yes, that ambiguity has crept into at least three articles. According to a historical website jointly run by the Smithsonian Institution and the National Parliamentary Library of Georgia, Russia made a de facto annexation of Mingrelia in 1857, but Niko I Dadiani remained the titular prince until January 4, 1867, when he was forced to abdicate and the principality was formally abolished. So a case can be made for 1857 to 1867, whereas 1866 (which this article currently cites in a couple of places) is just wrong. I'll rework this article accordingly.
