In the telegram dated November 29, 1919, sent by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, M.H. Jafarov, to his Armenian colleague, it is stated that, in addition to these four villages, Armenians besieged Klit and detailed villages, 300 men were killed and 30 women were captured in the Daraleyaz district, and regular troops are being sent in this direction. He demanded the Armenian government to stop these actions. The representatives of the above-mentioned villages repeatedly appealed to different addresses about the danger awaiting them and asked for help to be sent. The villagers tried not to respond to the sedition of the Armenians in order to prevent them from aggressive actions.
