Masjedlu (مسجدلو, also Romanized as Masjedlū; also known as Masjedī, Masjidi, and Mechety)[1] is a village in Minjavan-e Gharbi Rural District, Minjavan District, Khoda Afarin County, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 45, in 14 families.[2]
According to P. Oberling, the inhabitants belonged to Mohammad Khanlu tribe.[3] The affiliation, however, could not be ethnic as people of Masjedlu are followers of Yarsan religion. Until 1990, Habib Soltani was one of the elites of Yarsan religion in Arasbaran region. His younger son, Asghar Soltani, was a prominent poet.
