History
editThe mosque was built in the 18th century. In the early 1990s, during the Karabakh war, the village of Giyasly was occupied by the Armenian armed forces. Under the terms of the hostilities cessation statement, that took place on 20 November 2020, the village of Giyasly, as part of the Aghdam region, was returned to Azerbaijan.
The Kommersant correspondent Kirill Krivosheev, who also visited the village, noted that there were piles of hay in the village mosque, and a corral was made nearby.[2]
