During the
Soviet period, the village was part of the
Shusha District of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. After the
First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the village was administrated as part of the
Shushi Province of the breakaway
Republic of Artsakh.
Shusha, located just above the village, was the last Azerbaijani stronghold in Nagorno-Karabakh to be captured by Armenian forces in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. On January 26, 1992
Azerbaijani Defense Minister Mehdiyev "led a disastrous sortie out of Shusha to capture the Armenian village of Karintak", in which dozens of Azerbaijani soldiers died. On 9 November 2020, the last day of the
2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, Azerbaijani troops captured the village, and after that, the city of
Shusha itself. The village monument dedicated to the fallen in World War II was destroyed by Azerbaijani forces after the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.
