The mausoleum, as well as the Agdam district, where the mausoleum is located, was under the occupation of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic since the First Nagorno-Karabakh war until 2020, when the district was returned to Azerbaijan per the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement. In 2023, an investigation by the Caucasus Heritage Watch of Cornell University found that during Armenian control of the area, the mausoleum remained well-preserved.
