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 Shahumyan Province, referred to as Dadivank (Armenian: Դադիվանք). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement. After the withdrawal of Armenian forces from the region, the Dadivank monastery in the village was placed under the protection of Russian peacekeeping forces.[2]
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include the monastery of Dadivank (Դադիվանք) from between the 4th and 13th centuries, khachkars from between the 11th and 13th centuries, a winepress, chapel and fresco from the 13th century, and the 14th-century monument of St. Dadi (Armenian: Սուրբ Դադի, romanized: Surb Dadi).[1]
The village had 94 inhabitants in 2005,[3] and 136 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
