The village is located in the lowland part of Vedibasar district, in the Agrydag valley, 9 km southwest of the village of Boyuk-Vedi, the center of the Vedi district, on a drain separating from the Vedi river, the Irevan-Nakhchivan highway and the Irevan-Nakhchivan-Baku railway line (Aygevan station).­­

Until 1920, only Azerbaijani Turks lived in the village. In 1922-1988, the village was a mixed village, Azerbaijanis and Armenians lived here together.

Russian Russian-Iranian and Russian-Ottoman wars of 1826-1829 indicate that the village was listed in the statistics of 1832 in the list of ruined villages of Vedibasar district.­

In 1873, 150 Azerbaijanis (100 men, 50 women) lived in 19 farms in the village where they settled again after 1832, in 1886, 234 people (158 men, 76 women) lived in 35 farms, in 1905 - 229 people, in 1914 - 237 people.

In 1918-1920, the village was brutally destroyed by the Armenian Dashnaks, the population was evicted, as well as the entire Vedibasar community, temporarily emigrated to South Azerbaijan.­

In 1922, the village community (216 people) returned, they restored the village again. At the same time, 114 Armenians who arrived from Turkey were resettled in the village. Therefore, in 1926 the population of the village was 243 Azerbaijanis, 130 Armenians, in 1931 - 250 Azerbaijanis, 182 Armenians.­­

In 1935, the neighboring village of Jadgyran was liquidated and incorporated into the village of Shirazly, and in a short time the village grew rapidly.

In 1946-1947, many Armenian families brought from abroad were forcibly settled in the village of Shirazli, but in 1972, out of 3,489 people in 583 households of the village, more than 300 households were Azerbaijanis.­

However, the events of 1988 led to the expulsion of the Shiraz population from their homes. On ­May 8, the Baku-Yerevan train was detained at the Shirazli station, it was raided for an hour, the conductors of the cars and Azerbaijani passengers were beaten. The tension in the area has reached such a limit that tomorrow, May 9, Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR Demichev, Second Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Armenia Kochetkov, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Armenia S. Harutyunyan arrived in Vedi and held an extensive meeting here.­­ The Azerbaijani representatives spoke, stated the situation as it is, in their person they said that the Armenians are leading the events to a national massacre, inciting national hatred and enmity.­­ But no measures were taken.

The ongoing tension on May 10 led to a devastating Armenian attack on the village of Shirazli on May 11. During the day, was the preparatory work (delivery to the streets of carriages with stones for hammering houses, hanging on the Armenian houses special flags, transportation bearded men of the village to distant places, road closures employees,­ police, etc.) the Armenians were divided into four companies, each of which consisted of 400­ to 500 people, and entered the Azerbaijani districts. The detachments were led by police officers. All the district leaders were in Shirazli. ­Almost all the houses of Azerbaijanis were destroyed and looted. People hid in the dark in the garden, in the thickets and watched the Armenian atrocity. The Armenians took out what they could from their houses, broke or burned what remained in place. In some courtyards, Azerbaijanis who did not tolerate Armenian atrocities were not afraid to be greedy with Armenians.

The Armenian atrocities, which lasted until 3 a.m., stopped after the arrival of military personnel in the village at that time. Since the houses of the population were destroyed, and there were no guarantees of their safety, they moved towards the village of Shidli on the border with Turkey, found refuge on the Soviet-Turkish border.

During the tragedy in Shirazli, 64 Azerbaijani houses were completely destroyed, 8 houses were burned, the property of 330 families was destroyed, more than 80 people were beaten.­ The outstanding writer Farman Kerimzade, originally from Vedi, came to the aid of the Shiraz people, with 20 intellectuals from Shiraz and surrounding villages, he went to Baku, Moscow.­ But there were no people from Baku or Moscow who would be compassionate to their misfortune.

For three months, the Shiraz people lived in tents on the bank of the Araz River, on the border with Turkey, 80-year-old were killed here and buried in the cemetery of Shidli Seyid Agbal agha (Igbal Miryagub oghlu, who was seriously wounded by a stone fragment in the chest during a wild attack by rural Armenians-Dashnak terrorists) and Akbar's two-month-old son.

One of the most famous ojags of Vedibasar district, ojag Agbal agha, was located in the village of Shirazly.­ Not only Muslims, but also Armenians from near and far regions came to this well-known Ojag in the whole region.

There was also a large mosque in the village of Shirazly. In this ancient mosque, built of clay, the elders of the village gathered and prayed.­

There were two Muslim cemeteries in the village of Shirazli. On the site of the ancient cemetery, a number of buildings were later built for the collective farm, the cemetery was liquidated.­­ But no one dared to touch the dome built here over the grave of the famous Seyid Miryagub-agha.

On April 9, 1991, the village was renamed to Vosgetap
