History

edit

The village had an Armenian and a Muslim quarter in 1921, when 600 of the inhabitants were Armenians.[2] It became part of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast in 1923 but was ceded to the Karyagino Rayon (today Fuzuli) in 1938. The Armenian inhabitants gradually left afterwards.[3]

The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Hadrut Province, referred to as Hogher (Հողեր). It came under the control of Azerbaijan during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.
