1905 y․

During the conflict of 1905-1906, the villagers of Hajilar undertook several raids on Khoznavar for taking loot. They hijacked 100 heads of cattle and one peasant, but were stopped by the residents of Khnatsakh. The history repeated itself in 1989-1991. Upon the liberation of these areas the population left the village.
