“… The main objective of this action which was represented in putting an end to the foreign relations of the mountaineers, has been almost achieved and there’s no doubt that it would be fully achieved with the proposed solution of increasing the number of boats in the Azov Sea and the use of steamboats to float alongside coasts, then we would have to seize two or three coastal centers so that we can fully accomplish the first part of the overall system for the suppression of the mountaineers. Then, when the right time comes we will use of arms against the mountaineers in any place we don’t find full and unconditional obedience and those acts must be carried out just like Major General Grabbi’s vision, with strong forces, and not small sections of the army…
And with the seizure of the territory and forts, either the forces of the Black Sea or the Malarosque Cossacks – who where resettled there – should seize whatever is left behind, according to E.V.‘s study on the means and systems for a firm suppression upon the Caucasus. ”
