History
The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces on May 19, 1992 during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.
The village subsequently became part of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, referred to as Aparan (Armenian: Ապարան) from June 26, 1998. The village was settled in 1996 with Armenian refugees deported from Azerbaijan.
The village was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
