Sardarli Mosque
Location: Sardarli, Fuzuli
Condition Assessment
Status: Unchanged
Sardarli Mosque is listed on the Republic of Azerbaijan's registry of heritage sites (inventory No. 4231) as an architectural monument dating to the 19 th century. 1 According to the official listing, it is located in the village of Gochahmadli (Fuzuli district), but its correct location is the village of Sardarli, as the name implies.
Comparison of Hexagon satellite imagery dated July 1980 2 with imagery captured in March 2022 3 shows that the overall structure and shape of the mosque has remained unchanged. The roof is intact and the structure appears sound. Images ( a , b ) and a video post-dating the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War also confirm the well-preserved condition of the mosque structure.

Geolocation
CHW geolocated the mosque using an image disseminated by the Karabakh Center, and video and photographic evidence linked above. The Azerbaijan monuments registry lists the official name of the mosque as Sardarli Mosque, but incorrectly locates the mosque in Gochahmadli village. Images from the Karabakh Center allowed CHW to confirm that the mosque is the only standing building in Sardarli village.
