The village of Khosrov was abolished in the mid-1930s. Now it is a ruined village.

Architec­ture

A part of the cultural monu­ments located at a height in the heart of the pic­turesque nature was transported by Armenians and presented in museums as examples of Armenian culture.

In the south of Khosrov village, on the cliff above Khirdachay river, which starts from Darband mountains, there are pic­tures of the Sun and the crescent Moon carved on the ends of two intersecting ledges, which are symbols of pre-Islamic religious ceremonies. Examples of this material and spiritual historical heritage, which made the Oghuz-Turkic mystical beliefs of ancient times unforgettable, we­re located near the Kusgayasu River. It was mentioned in the "Review notebook of Iravan governorate". The toponym Khosrov was created based on the per­sonal name. It is an anthropotoponym. It is a simple toponym in structure.

These examples of material and spiritual he­ri­ta­ge, which ex­press the Og­huz-Turkish mys­­tic-mythical beliefs of the old times before Islam, are the his­­torical heri­ta­ge of Azerbaijan in the area.
