Current situation

The remains of the walls of the fortress in the village of Juja­vang are cur­rent­ly presented as an Armenian monument.

Information:

There are historical monuments of the 12th-13th centuries, Turkish graves in the ancient cemetery, and tower walls in the village of Jujavang338. The toponym is probably named after the eldest son of Genghis Khan, Juji. However, the possibility that it is made from the word "chick" in the meaning of "small", "little" is closer to the truth. In other words, Ju­javang means small temple. It is patro­nymic toponym and structurally complex toponym.

Tombstones and gravestones be­longing to va­rious Turkic tri­bes in the for­tress and an­cient cemetery in the village of Juja­vang show that the village is the homeland of Azerbaijanis.
