The Bayram Mausoleum is considered one of the valuable elements of the material and cultural heritage of the Azerbaijani people, both religious and mystical, as well as a monument. After the last deportation of Azerbaijanis in 1987-1991, the Bayram Mausoleum was destroyed by Armenians.

Bayram's tomb is located in the village of Aldera, 12 km southeast of the center of Meghri district, on the banks of the Araz River. The tomb is the place where Bayram Guliyev's grave is located. The villagers used to visit this tomb.
The only street in the village bears his name. The tomb was built on the highest point of the cemetery. A round iron dome was placed on 3-4 meter iron poles on the edges of the tombstone. The tomb is made of metal construction.

The population, who were subjected to Armenian aggression in 1918, were deported, and after the establishment of Soviet power in present-day Armenia, they were able to return to their historical and ethnic lands in 1922–1924. In 1926, 414 people lived here, 490 in 1931, 601 in 1959, 831 in 1970, and 784 in 1979. On November 24-28, 1988, the residents of the village, Azerbaijanis, were expelled again. Now Armenians live there.
