Historical Introduction

Mos is one of the rare Armenian villages that has preserved its historical name (currently it is called Mozkand).

Samvel Karapetian, Armenian Cultural Monuments in the Region of Karabakh, Yerevan, 2001, p. 66.

The planning peculiarities of the village, especially the density of structures built along obviously old streets witness, that this ancient settlement was finally shaped in the Middle Ages. In spite of it what did remain of the former population were only a few badly weathered khachkars, put on the floors or at the doorways of cattle sheds.
