Current situation

The historical va­lue and im­por­tance of the Susuz cara­van­serai, which has a large area and a large number of commercial and domestic facilities around it, was destro­yed by the Ar­menians, and new buildings we­re built in its place, just be­cause it had Azer­baijani monuments.

 

Information:

The Susuz caravanserai was located in the famous Demirbulag neighborhood, the most densely populated in Iravan. The caravanserai, which consisted of 74 shops, was always visited. The Susuz ca­ra­vanserai is referred to in some sources as the "Susuz gamchi (whip)" caravan­serai.

Only Azerbaija­nis lived in the Demirbulag neighborhood where the cara­van­serai is loca­ted. The neigh­bor­­hood of De­mirbulag, which consisted of 322 houses, and the surrounding of the caravanserai located there, was one of the busiest areas of the city.
