Historical Introduction
19 c․

In the mid-19th century, the local Armenian inhabitants were obliged to attend St. Hovhannes Church for their spiritual needs. With this regard, a record of 1888 states, “...The population of Chaylu, constituting 136 houses, have been going to St. Hovhannes Church for many centuries now.” Despite that, however, the parishioners of the church did not allow Chaylu Armenians to participate in the verger elections held in the same year.
