Comparison of Hexagon satellite imagery dated July 1980 2 and satellite imagery captured in September 2002 3 shows that during this period, the Soviet-era roofing was removed but the traditional domed roof remained undisturbed.

At some point between February 2004 and July 2013, the mosque and the adjacent caravansarai complex (which functioned as a market in the Soviet years) were renovated and remained in good condition. A video post-dating the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War also attests that the mosque structure remains well-preserved.
