Current situation

After the depor­tation of Azer­baijanis in 1988, the sacred place was des­tro­yed by Ar­me­nians, and Azerbaijanis ne­ver had the opportunity to visit it again.

Information:

In the village of Korpukend, which is 1-2 km away from the village of Galadibi (in 1948, the population of this village was first transferred to the village of Qar­miz­kend, and then to the village of Za­limkhan) of Aghstafa district, Khalif Shah­baz used to light a place- there was no shortage of prayers on it at all times of the month and year. The tomb of the clans buried in Yevlakh district is now vi­sited by the people of Vedibasar ma­hal.

Religious and spi­ritual shri­nes, such as the sacred place of Khalifa Shah­baz, are consi­de­red assets that contribute to an­cient histo­ri­cal and military heritage, as well as traditions.
