In the ‘40s of the 19th century, the village provided home for some Russian sectarians who constituted 45 houses with 364 inhabitants in 1909, and 508 souls in 1914. Parallel with the Russians’ emigration which commenced in the second half of the 20th century, Parvana received a number of Armenian resettlers from the adjacent villages.
