The agreement which was signed in the presence of Iranian, Ottoman, Russian, and British delegates stipulated that the village of Bahik, in addition to a number of others, remain as a part of Persia, modern day Iran.[5]
After the 2006 National Census, Bahik was merged with the village of Zula to form the new village of Zula Bahik.[4]
