It was part of Aghbaba uchastok of Kars Okrug in Kars Oblast between 1878 and 1918. It was passed to Soviet Armenia according to treaties of Moscow and Kars in 1921. It was renamed as Azizbekov in honour of Mashadi Azizbeyov, one of the 26 Baku Commissars on 4 May 1939. Prior to 1988, the village was populated by Azerbaijanis, whereby "there was not a single Armenain family".
