History
The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. It was occupied by Armenian forces in 1992 during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, referred to as Haytagh (Armenian: Հայթաղ). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
In August 2021, during his visit to the Lachin region, the president of Azerbaijan laid the foundation of the Lachin International Airport close to the village. It is expected to be finished in 2024.[2]

The community was sustained by agriculture consisting mostly of livestock. Prior to occupation, there was a high school, a library, and a post office in the village.[citation needed]
