Current situation

These mausoleums were completely destroyed by the Armenians in order to erase the traces of Azerbaijanis from the region.

Information:

In the village of Gara Vali, there was the mausoleum of Seyid Ahmad, the son of Imam Musey Kazim VII. It was one of the most visited tombs of the people of the region. It is believed that Khalifa Seyyed Ahmed, whose mausoleum is now in ruins, was one of the Arab ca­liphs who were removed from power and fled to Azerbaijan. In the 50s of the last century, when the mausoleum of Seyid Ahmad Baba was being renovated, a large amount of various documents were found there. It is known from the docu­ments that Seyyed Ahmad Pir was one of the most sacred shrines in the region.

It was conside­red a holy place where people sought refuge, pra­yed and ma­de vows in dif­ficult times.
