Architecture
The door of the tomb was dismantled, from the right edge and a piece 10 cm from the upper part and 20 cm (approximately) from the lower part were broken off with the Arabic inscription on it.
The Muslim tomb in Takiya village is built in a square shape and its wall is covered with square marble stones. The tomb is about 5 meters wide and 4 meters high. The tomb has an iron gate 0.80 cm wide and 1.0-2 meters high. On the top of the door, there are inscriptions in red letters in the Arabic alphabet on a red board. Only Azerbaijanis lived in the village: 155 people in 1831, 398 in 1873, 582 in 1886, 635 in 1897, 725 in 1908, 768 in 1914, 587 in 1916, and 428 in 1919. In 1919-1920, Armenians from Mush, Khut and Khlat governorates of Turkey were moved here. After the establishment of the Soviet government in Armenia, the surviving Azerbaijanis were able to return to their ancestral homes and lands. Along with Armenians, 179 Azerbaijanis lived here in 1922, 175 in 1926, and 227 in 1931. In 1831-1931, by a special decision of the USSR Council of Ministers, Azerbaijanis were deported from their historical-ethnic lands and moved to Azerbaijan in 1948-1953. Armenians live now. In the "Dictionary of Toponyms of Armenia and Surrounding Governorates" published in 1986, stated that not Azerbaijanis, but Armenians lived in the village in 1831-1931. This is a distortion of historical fact. The above statistical facts show that Armenians were moved to the village after 1918.
The toponym was formed on the basis of a single ethnonym of Turkish origin. Ethnotoponym, is a simple toponym in structure. The ancient Muslim tomb shows that the village is the homeland of Azerbaijanis.
