The village of Khosrov is one of the historical places where mystically charged sacred places are spread in the villages and hamlets of the Vedi region. In the central part of the village of Khosrov, an Albanian temple dating back to the 4th century AD was erected. This 10-meter-high, four-cornered building was completely demolished. The ground was covered with cobblestones. When the Dashnaks destroyed the houses and buildings of this village and poured into the "Kilsa Daresi" of Khosrov River, they removed the written and embroidered plates and stones of the temple and took them to Iravan city.
Armenians evacuated Khosrov village in 1930 and forced the population to move to other places of residence in order to carry its material and cultural heritage under the pretext of protectting the rich diversity of flora and fauna. The monuments here representted the Albanian-Turkish culture.
