The Magals were ruled by Naibs , and the villages of the Magals were controlled by Kedhudas .

Until 1747, Arasbar was for the most part ruled by the patrimonial rulers - the Beks , and in 1747 , being annexed to the Karabakh Khanate, it was a special Javanshir-Dizak magal, whose naib lives in Hajil .

Magal was created on the territory of the abolished Arasbar region as a result of the magical reform of Panah Ali Khan.

Beginning in 1747 , Muhammad-Sharif-bek Gadzhilu-Javanshir ruled with the title of Naib in the Javanshir-Dizak Magal.

By the middle of the XVIII century. magical naibs enjoyed all the rights of feudal rulers - they had judicial and administrative power. Within their domain, naibs possessed feudal immunity. They had their own armed detachments. However, the power of the magical naibs did not go beyond the boundaries of their fortifications and neighboring villages.

In the middle of the 18th century, the Karabakh clan Gadzhilu-Javanshirov established a semi-independent possession here, which retained its relative autonomy until the Russian conquest in 1822 .

There was a surname in Javanshir-Dizak Magal, whose members were managers under the Karabakh khans. This was Kasim-bek Dzhevanshir, who had the rank of college registrar under Caucasian governorship and the manager of the magal, who was transferred to the Russian officer.

Magal was liquidated in 1840 and transformed into a Russian province. On the basis of the tsarist reform “Institution for the management of the Transcaucasian Territory” dated April 10, 1840 ^[5] , the Shushinsky district was formed in the Caspian region . Dzhevanshir-Dizak Magal became part of the Varandinsky section of Shusha district.

As a result of excavations, objects of material culture of middle bronze, which in Azerbaijan, begins from the second half of the III millennium BC, were revealed. e. A variety of collected material characterizes the culture of the tribes of the Milko-Karabakh steppe of that period. Ismailov also attributed the Karabulak burial mound to the settlement, located on the right bank of the Kendelanchay River and explored in 1898 by Alexei Ivanovsky.
