The Mamar Mosque (Azerbaijani: Məmər məscidi) is an 18th-century Azerbaijani mosque located in the Məmər village of Qubadli District in Azerbaijan.

History

The mosque was built in the 18th century. The mosque was used as a warehouse during the Soviet era. After Azerbaijan's independence in 1991, the mosque was reopened as a place of worship.[1] In 1993, as a result of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the territory of the Qubadli District, including the village of Məmər, was occupied by Armenian forces. During the occupation, the mosque was used as a pigsty, which drew criticism from Azerbaijani officials and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.[2] [3] [4]

In 2001, the Mamar Mosque was declared an "architectural monument of local importance" by the Cabinet of Azerbaijan.[5] On 30 October 2020, Azerbaijan recaptured the village of Məmər, including its mosque.[6]
