About 100 houses were damaged in the village during the war. Immediately after the end of the war, restoration work began. The school is in good condition. It has 99 students, 7 of them are children of displaced families. The kindergarten is attended by 29 students. St. Stepanos Church is located in the village, which is a place of pilgrimage for the residents,” the head of the community said, adding that the rural roads are in a deplorable condition.
