The cemetery is located southwest of the village. It has not been systematically studied, but according to inscriptions on the tombstones, the cemetery dates to the 19th and early 20th centuries. The number of tombstones is unknown. CHW was able to determine the precise limits of the cemetery using a plan included on the official certificate for the site, created by the Ministry of Education and Science of the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and provided by our partner, Monument Watch. That certificate also shows that the remains of a shrine, or “maturr” existed in the cemetery.
\n
\nThe cemetery was last seen fully intact in February 2021. By October 2021 earthmoving related to roadwork had already severely impacted the area of the cemetery. As of May 1, 2024, CHW assesses the cemetery as destroyed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
