Current situation

The roof part of the Muslim tomb in Talish village collap­sed. Currently, it is presented as an Armenian monument in a semi-ruined state.

Information:

It is believed that the Muslim tomb, loca­ted on the high ground outside the village of Talish, dates back to the 13th-14th centuries. The tomb is built of a large red tuff stone with a special square cut in a round shape. It is surrounded by small rocks and ancient tombstones blown up and destroyed by Armenians. It is located 21 km west of the district center. Only Azerbaijanis lived in the village until 1828. In 1828-1829, Arme­nians were relocated from Bayazet go­ver­norate of Turkey and settled in the village. In the territory of the village, an ancient fortress belonging to the Azer­baijanis of the XIII-XIV centuries still stands in ruins.

The toponym Qi­­­zilbash was for­med on the basis of the ethno­nym Ta­lish from the Tur­kic tribe. It is an ethnoto­po­nym. It is a simp­le toponym in structure.
