History
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 Kumayri ({{langx|hy|Կումայրի}}). It was recaptured by Azerbaijan on or around October 28, 2020 during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.{{Cite news|date=October 28, 2020|title=Алиев: Азербайджанская армия освободила от оккупации 13 сел|work=Zakon.kz|url=https://www.zakon.kz/5045701-aliev-azerbaydzhanskaya-armiya.html}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/russian/live/news-54686682?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=5f9969f649467302d61ce105%26%D0%90%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B5%D0%B2%20%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%8A%D1%8F%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BB%20%D0%BE%20%D0%B2%D0%B7%D1%8F%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B8%20%D0%B5%D1%89%D0%B5%2013%20%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D1%85%20%D0%BF%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2%262020-10-28T12%3A54%3A16.248Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:d3d71fcf-5cc8-4eb5-aeac-3aa6a87fb0af&pinned_post_asset_id=5f9969f649467302d61ce105&pinned_post_type=share |title=Алиев объявил о взятии еще 13 населенных пунктов |date=28 October 2020 |access-date=29 October 2020 |publisher=BBC Russian Service |language=ru }}
