Kichik mosque was built in the middle of the 19th century. A river flowed in front of the mosque. In 1918, the village of Hachaparag was attacked by Ar­me­nians from Turkey. The village and the mosque were burned by the Armenians, and the surviving population was forced to emigrate to the neighboring regions and to the other side of the Araz River. With the establishment of Soviet power, the population returned to the village, repaired the village mosque and reope­ned it for worship.
