The village was abolished in order to erase the traces of Azerbaijanis from the village. The ruins of the temple remainned until the deportations that took place in 1987-1991.

According to the administrative division applied by the Ottomans, who won the battles with the Safavids in 1723 and gained full control over the Goycha basin, Adagala (AdahunarAdahulak-Alaghak) was under the administrative management of Darachichak district of Iravan province. On the 11th page of the "Iravan province summary book" compiled in 1728, the name of the village is mentioned as "Adaghalak". During the zoning division carried out by the Soviet authorities in September 1930, the geographical position of Adagalan was determined as the territory of Sevan district. Although it was restored as a Gregorian church, it is a temple that Armenian historians themselves attribute to the 17th-16th centuries BC. These material evidences show that the village in that area has a history of at least 4000 years.

Adagala is one of the ancient Turkish villages removed from the list of Goycha villages.
