Current situation

A tomb still re­mains on the hill in the area cal­led the old ce­metery, which was dest­royed in Ja­mishli village. It is presented as a Yezid mo­nu­­ment.

Information:

It was created on the basis of merging the villages of Boyuk Jamishli and Kichik Jamishli in the district. It was included in the administrative territorial division of Abaran district until March 15, 1972 when Alagoz (Aragadz) district formed. The area of the old cemetery in the village of Jamishli was rich with an­cient Turkish-Oghuz graves and gra­ve­side monuments. After the deportation of 1988, the ancient tomb on the hill of the old cemetery, which was destroyed by the Armenians, still exists today. The tomb, which is round in shape, has a 1.5 m (approx.) wide entrance door and a tall hat-shaped roof. A piece of the roof has fallen in several places (4-5 ) and the place is open.

It got its name from the Ja­mishli tribe of the Oghuz Dul­kadir people. The toponym was formed on the basis of the name of the Ja­mishli Turkish tribe. It is an ethnotoponym. It is a simple to­ponym in struc­­­­­ture. The to­­po­nym only pro­vi­des accu­rate in­formation about Azer­baijanis li­ving in Jamishli vil­lage. The tomb is of his­torical impor­tance as one of the remaining examples of ma­­terial and cul­­tural heritage in the lands of an­cient Azer­baijan history.
