History

The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces on May 29, 1992 during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.[1][2] It was briefly recaptured by Azerbaijani forces during Operation Goranboy in July 1992. However, it was forced to withdraw by her peasants under siege after 2–3 April 1993 due to occupation of Kalbajar District by Armenian forces.[3]

The village subsequently became part of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, referred to as Movsesashen (Armenian: Մովսէսաշեն).

It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
