Current situation

A part of the cultural monu­ments located at a height in the heart of the pic­turesque nature was transported by Armenians and presented in museums as examples of Armenian culture.

Information:

In the south of Khosrov village, on the cliff above Khirdachay river, which starts from Darband mountains, there are pic­tures of the Sun and the crescent Moon carved on the ends of two intersecting ledges, which are symbols of pre-Islamic religious ceremonies. Examples of this material and spiritual historical heritage, which made the Oghuz-Turkic mystical beliefs of ancient times unforgettable, we­re located near the Kusgayasu River. It was mentioned in the "Review notebook of Iravan governorate". The toponym Khosrov was created based on the per­sonal name. It is an anthropotoponym. It is a simple toponym in structure.

These examples of material and spiritual he­ri­ta­ge, which ex­press the Og­huz-Turkish mys­­tic-mythical beliefs of the old times before Islam, are the his­­torical heri­ta­ge of Azerbaijan in the area.
