It was destroyed by Armenians af­ter the 1988 deportation.

The wide and tall tombstone with inscriptions on the grave of Mir Abbas Agha, located in Taza cemetery, has been turned into a sacred place. The villagers swore at the grave of Mir Abbas, said sacrifices, made vows, and made intentions. Only Azerbaijanis lived in the village until 1828, Armenians we­re moved from abroad in 1946-48282. Des­pite this, there were many Azerbaija­nis living in the village until the 1988 deportation. The toponym was formed on the basis of the Turkish ethnonym "najli" with the word low, which means a distinguishing sign. It is an ethno­to­ponym and a complex toponym in structure.

It shows that the village is an ancient settle­ment and shows its religious be­liefs to Azer­baijanis.
