There was a mosque and a mollakhana in Pusek village. Haji Ismayil was the last teacher of the mollakhana near the mosque. His son Molla Latif was a victim of the 1937 repression. The mosque was destroyed and turned into a warehouse. The stone-hewn pillar of Pusek mosque remained until the 1980s. Starting from the 18th century, the process of population settlement began in the surrounding areas of old Sofulu. As a result, the villages of Pusek, Alishar, Givrag were formed. Baybali village existed in the Baylik area to the northwest of Pusek village, and Almali village existed on the right bank of Ayrichay between Alishar and Murkhuz. Pusek village formed the upper, Alishar middle, and Givrag lower quarters of Sofulu village. The villagers, who were attacked by the Armenian Dashnak units, left the village on a snowy and blizzard day - March 15, 1918, crossed the Girkhlar mountain and took refuge in Nakhchivan. After the establishment of Soviet power, part of the population returned. 332 Azerbaijanis lived in the village in 1886, 153 in 1897, 260 in 1908, and 310 in 1914. In 1918, Armenians organized massacre and deportation against Azerbaijanis. After the establishment of Soviet power in presentday Armenia, the survivors returned to their villages. 150 Azerbaijanis lived here in 1922, 149 in 1926, and 197 in 1931.
