Architec­ture

In order to erase the historical tra­ces and heri­ta­ge of Azer­baijanis here, gra­ves were dest­royed, sta­tues and other monuments are exhibited as Ar­menian monu­ments in the mu­seum.

Gollu is an ancient Azerbaijani (Turkish) land, the ancient name of Aghbaba is the current Amasiya (Hamasa) region. The inhabitants of the village were Azer­baijanis. In Armenian sources, it is indi­cated that the people living in the village are Garapapags, and they are given as a separate people. However, the Garapa­pags are one of the Turkic tribes and are an ethnographic group that participates in the ethnogenesis of Azerbaijanis. The old cemetery of the village was separate from the new cemetery. The old ceme­tery was called Albanian cemetery by Azerbaijanis and Armenians.

The fact that the person buried in the Albanian ce­­­metery is stan­­ding or lying face down on the grave of his statue and the numerous stones written in the Albanian alphabet in the cemetery show the level of cul­tural develop­ment of the Azer­baijani peop­le in an­cient times.
