Architec­ture

In 1918, the mosque was bur­ned by Ar­me­nians. Re­pairs were not allowed during the Soviet rule. The remains of the blown-down wall remained until the period after the 1988 deportation.

On August 15, 1918, the people of the vil­lage were suddenly attacked by Andro­nik's group during the barley harvest and suffered a lot of casualties. The surviving population lives mainly in the regions along Araz (Gubadli, Jab­rayil, Fuzuli). There was a large spiritual school in the village until the estab­lishment of the Soviet government. A person named Akhund Iskander used to teach there.
