Architec­ture

The Armenians, who wanted to erase the traces of Azerbaijan's history from the village, demo­lished and des­tro­yed the Og­huz cemetery

Dashkand was the largest village of Ba­sar­kechar district by area. The stone wall of the Iron Age fortification remained in the village, and there were shallow caves in the lower part. The Oghuz cemetery of the VI-VII centuries in Dashkand is a relic of the deep historical past. The cemetery contained a large number of 2x3 headstones and gravestones of hor­ses and rams.
