After the Russian invasion of Transcaucasia in 1796, many of them migrated to the regions of Kizlar and Astrakhan in the North Caucasus in Russia, where they established new towns and villages. The article also focuses on various instances of collective conversion to Islam by members of this ethnic group. By the end of the 19th century, there were only three villages in Transcaucasia which were still inhabited by Tat-speaking members of the Armenian Church.
