Historical Introduction
1923 y․

After the Sovietization of Azerbaijan, in 1923 the majority of the inhabitants of Garnaker moved to an elevated plain lying on the left bank of the river Shamkor, some 3 to 4 kilometres west of their village. They founded a new village which was called Sari or Nor Barum to be differentiated from the one already existing.
