Current situation

The Oghuz gra­ves and tomb­stones in the so-called old ce­me­tery, located in the Boyuk Mazra village, were destroyed by Armenians.

Information:

In the old cemetery of the village, there were many Oghuz graves from the an­cient period234. Most of these tombstones are 2-3 meters high and buried 1 and 5 meters deep, and are notable for being deep and wide. The political-military, so­cio-economic, material-spiritual and cul­tural specificity of the natural-geograp­hical conditions and historical past of this village and the villages of Basar­keshar region in the history of Azer­baijan statehood is measured by the fact that this region, along with place names (toponyms) of various origins, has been socio-political for millennia, including the essence of the events, preserved and developed the Albanian and Muslim-Tur­kish ethno-genesis, its soul, which was pre-Christian. The noteworthy point is that the influence of genealogy in the ethno-genesis (date of creation) of settle­ments of Basar-kechar district and in Eastern Azerbaijan (in Borchali mahal, Gazakh, Shamkir, Gadabay, Dashkasan, Kalbajar districts) was also great.
