Current situation

After the depor­tation of 1948, it was destroyed by the Arme­­nians in order to clean up the tra­ces of Azer­baija­nis in the village.

Information:

Vandalism against the material cultural heritage of the region began with the resettlement of Armenians to the his­to­rical lands of Azerbaijan. The Duldul sto­ve was built in the early 17th century and was completely destroyed by the Armenians after the deportation of the Azerbaijani population of the village in 1948.

The sanctuary of the Duldul place is an example of sac­red wealth in the territory of Western Azer­baijan.
