In 1918, the mosque was burned by Armenians. Repairs were not allowed during the Soviet rule. The remains of the blown-down wall remained until the period after the 1988 deportation.
Information:
On August 15, 1918, the people of the village were suddenly attacked by Andronik's group during the barley harvest and suffered a lot of casualties. The surviving population lives mainly in the regions along Araz (Gubadli, Jabrayil, Fuzuli). There was a large spiritual school in the village until the establishment of the Soviet government. A person named Akhund Iskander used to teach there.
