Current situation

During the de­portation of 1988-1989, the Armenians committed an ar­med terrorist act against the local population and destroyed his­torical mo­nu­ments. The sa­me vandalism was shown in relation to pla­ces sacred to the people. Ha­ram­lar Pir was also one of the monuments that received its sha­re from these events. The pir and surrounding buildings were destroyed and Azerbaijanis we­re no longer allowed to visit the site.

Information:

Haramler Pir, located between the villa­ges of Sofulu and Gyzyl Shafak (the dis­tance was 6 km), was a place visited by residents of the surrounding villages (it was closer to the second village, 2 km), where sacrifices were made and oaths were taken. Since the territory belongs to the village of Sofular, the winter buil­dings of the sheep farm were located around it.

Haramler Pir, like other sanc­tuaries, means the geograp­hi­cal location of religious per­sons distin­guis­hed by their sanctity from an ethno-genetic point of view.
