According to the 1897 census, 381 Armenians and 133 Azerbaijanis lived in the village.[1]

In June 1919, 600-700 Armenian inhabitants of Ghaibalishen and the neighboring villages of Jamilli, Karkijahan and Pahlul were massacred by armed Kurdish irregulars and Azerbaijani soldiers. Ghaibalishen was looted and burnt.[2]: 176–177 [3]
