The Agdam Mosque (Azerbaijani: Ağdam məscidi, transliterated also as Aghdam Mosque) is a large mosque in Agdam, Azerbaijan. It was partly destroyed by the Armed Forces of Armenia during Nagorno-Karabakh War.[1][2]
History
Construction
The mosque was built by the architect Karbalayi Safikhan Karabakhi from 1868 to 1870. The mosque was built in the typical style for mosques in Karabakh region, which included the division of stone columns on the two-story gallery and the use of domed ceilings. Other mosques in this style include Barda Mosque, the Govharaga Mosque in Shusha, a mosque in Fizuli and one in the village of Goradiz.[3]
Nagorno-Karabakh War
After Khojaly's invasion by Armed Forces of Armenia on 29 February of 1992, 200 bodies were first placed in the mosque.[4] However, according to mosque's director Seyid Sadiqov, the mosque had 477 corpses.[5]
Current state
Among the Aghdam's residential buildings, the mosque is one of the best preserved. However, the roof and attic of the mosque have been pulled down, while windows, doors, interior finish, even the marble floor have been destroyed.[6] Today it is used as a cowshed and pigpen by Armenians, generating criticism from Azerbaijani and Turkish communities [7]
