This height, which is located on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border, has been under the control of the Armenian army since the mid-1990s, which allowed them to maintain full control of the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the direction of Dashkesan, including supply routes leading to these positions.

However, now the height and, as a result, all the surrounding areas, including the aforementioned lake, are under the control of the Azerbaijani army. Engineering and forming troops clean the territory around the Bughdadag, lay new supply routes. Strengthening work is underway at the liberated height.

A mortar part of the Armenian army was deployed on the Bughdadag, large -caliber machine guns were installed. The thermal imaging chamber, mounted on a 30-meter support at a height, made it possible to observe the Azerbaijani territories at a depth of 30 kilometers, as a result, monitor all the movements of the Azerbaijani army. One of the officers – participants in the battles for the liberation of the height says that when examining the memory of this camera, it was found that there were personnel of the Azerbaijani army.

This was a surprise to the Armenians, but they resisted, opening fire on the Azerbaijani military from automatic grenade launchers. Despite the shelling, Commandos advanced crawling along the rocks and captured the Armenian army, which were strengthened for many years.
