Demolished mosques of pre-1827 Yerevan (Saatli, Tapabashi/Abbasqoli Khan, Demirbulak, Zal Khan)
Sərdar Məscidi; Abbasqulu Xan; Təpəbaşı; Dəmirbulaq
Of the mosques of the Erivan Khanate (variously enumerated as seven to ten in 19th-century sources), all but the Blue Mosque were demolished. The Sardar (Khan's) Mosque inside the Yerevan citadel was lost during the Russian Imperial period after 1865 with the fortress's decommissioning; the Tapabashi (Abbasqoli Khan / Kond), Demirbulak and Zal Khan mosques were lost during the Soviet anti-religious campaigns of the 1920s–30s and post-war reconstruction. The Tapabashi mosque survived in derelict form, used as refugee housing after 1915, and lost its dome in the 1988 Spitak earthquake. Attribution is contested: Azerbaijani historiography classifies the lost mosques as Azerbaijani heritage; Armenian and Iranian historiography classifies them as Persian/Iranian heritage of the Erivan Khanate. Their physical destruction was Soviet, not post-1991 Armenian.
