- Information
One of the neighborhoods in the village of Karvansara, one of the ancient villages of Goycha, was called "Erguclular neighborhood". Most likely, after the destruction of the Argisht fortress in 1828, the inhabitants of the fortress settled in the nearest village, Karvansara, and named their neighborhoods after their villages.
On page 12 of the "General Property Register of the Iravan Province", approved by Ahmad Shah Mehmet Khan oglu on April 12, 1728, the village was presented under the name Dilanchi and relevant notes were made that its annual tax to the sultan's treasury was determined at 6890 agcha. In 1831, the village was registered under the name "Karvansaray". At that time, the village had a Turkish population of 168.
According to the information in the book “The Population of Soviet Armenia in 100 Years: 1831–1931” prepared by the Armenian historian Z. Korkodyan based on official statistics, this figure rose to 205 in 1886, 310 in 1897, 418 in 1904, and 623 in 1914. In 1918, Armenian Dashnak troops burned the village to the ground. Armenians were resettled to the village in 1928–1930.
By the decision of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated April 4, 1946, Caravansary was abolished as an administrative unit and merged with the village of Medina. The Azerbaijani population was deported in 1948–1953.The Arguçlular neighborhood in the village of Karvansara was a neighborhood inhabited only by Azerbaijanis. In general, no Armenians lived in the village. The village and neighborhood bore the material and cultural traces of Azerbaijanis until the Azerbaijanis were deported from there.
