Demirbulag Mosque, Yerevan
Tezeh-Pir; Iron Spring Mosque.
One of the seven mosques of pre-1828 Erivan, serving the Azerbaijani Twelver Shia population that constituted approximately 70% of the city before Russian conquest. Decommissioned under Soviet rule and used as variously a club and a museum; demolished during the 1988-91 expulsion period. The site is now a residential block. Distinct from the surviving Blue Mosque (Göy Cami) which was preserved by being officially recategorised as Persian rather than Azerbaijani heritage.
