Information

In the city of Iravan itself there was a pir with a black stone inside. This pir was called the furnace of Hazrat Abbas. The Armenians repeatedly tried to dismantle this holy place, but an accident happened to them. In that place, which was fenced, there was a black stone. While the Nar-Dos school was being built, the city administration decided to demolish this stove 27. After a demolition driver with an excavator suddenly fell on his head and died, demolition work was stopped and a fence was later erected around him.

Feasts and holy places tell about the history, world­­view, and ethnicity of the local popula­tion. The places and geograp­hi­cal na­mes that ha­ve sur­vived to this day, as well as examp­les of folk­lore, perso­ni­fy the past and rich cul­tural he­ritage of the Azer­baija­nis who on­ce lived in this area 24.
