Until 1988, Azerbaijanis lived in the vil­la­ge. In the upper part of Gollu village, in the area called the plain, there was a big stone called Khidir Nabi grand­fat­her’s the sacred place. The people would preserve this stone as a holy place, make a vow to the shrine, and make sacrifices. It was one of the places most believed and visited by the people of Gollu and surrounding villages 31. Within the bor­ders of Azerbaijan, the Armenian church has paid more attention to the Arme­nianization of our emotional and spiritual (sacred) traditions, our sacred places, which have a special place among the ma­terial and spiritual wealth of our an­cient history, or otherwise to their dest­ruction.
