In 1930, the Vargaduz district was formed, which was later renamed Yardimli. As of 1 January 1961, Kurakchi and 8 other settlements (Chay Uzu, Dagh Uzu, Nisagala, Garagaya, Urakaran, Avur, Avun and Garsavan) belonged to Chay Uzu village council,[2] and as of 1 January 1977, three settlements (Kurakchi, Garsavan and Avash) already belonged to the Kurakchi village council.[9]
