Information:

Built in the 17th century Muslim-Tur­kish architectural style, Taghli Mosque was one of the largest places of worship in the region. The population of Ajibac village, whose population is only Mus­lim, and the population of the surround­ding villages used to send pilgrims to holy religious places of pilgrimage from the yard of this mosque, and those retu­rning from the pilgrimage were wel­comed there. In 1918, Andranik Ozan­ya's army destroyed the village, slaughter­red the population, and the survivors fled to Ordubad through the mountains. At that time, the Taghli mos­que of Ajibac village, built in the Mus­lim-Turkish architectural style of the 17th century, was burned and destroyed. After 1922, the refugee population retur­ned to their native village and restored the economy, but the Soviet authorities did not allow the repair and restoration of the mosque .
