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 in the early 1990s. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, referred to as Goghtanik (Armenian: Գողթանիկ). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include the bridge of Kotrats (Armenian: Կոտրած), a 12th-century khachkar, a 13th-century khachkar, a 17th/18th-century khachkar, and an 18th-century khachkar.[1]
