History

The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces on 23 August 1993 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 Urekan (Armenian: Ուռեկան). It was recaptured on 2 November 2020 during the Lachin offensive by Azerbaijan during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[2]
