There was a mosque with an ancient history in Sofulu village. There was a mollakhana near the mosque. The pir stones in Pusak neighborhood are the remains of the mosque. In many places of the ancient village, there were stones with inscriptions, and these stones were dismantled and transported by trucks under the supervision of Armenian offi­cials during the Soviet rule. The stone-hewn pillar of Pusak mosque remained until the 1980s. Elderly people used to light candles at night on that stone pillar on holidays.
