History

The origin of this village's name comes from Turkish tribes which subsisted in this region over a period of history.

It was subsequently made part of the Kashatagh Province of self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh.[1] It was captured by Azerbaijan Army on 7 November 2020 during the Lachin offensive.
