Etymology and history

The settlement was founded by the Azerbaijanis families which moved from the Siyaqut village of Iran in the beginning of the 19th century. The name made out from the components of the Iranian words of siya (black) and gut (fortress) means "black fortress". [2]

The village was founded in the 1850s by Assyrian immigrants from Salmas, Persia, and remained the only Chaldean Christian village in the South Caucasus, then under the control of the Russian Empire. Beginning in the 1880s, the priest serving in Siyaqut was ordained by the Roman Catholic bishop. [3]
