families who had run away from Ottoman Turkey during the Armenian
Genocide and had settled down in Kond. It says that the offspring of
those families live around the Mosque territory at present. According
to the source the during the Soviet times Municipality of Yerevan
has given them the permit to settle there down.

also been damaged during the Soviet Union times.
However there is also another Mosque preserved in Yerevan since 1766,
which is the biggest one in the Caucasus. After the collapse of Soviet
Union it has been resumed and is protected by the government.
