Kavar district - From April 13, 1959, the village of Kamo, Neraduz was renamed Noradus.

Architecture

The artistically decorated stone coffin is currently located in the Nareduz cemetery. It appears that a part of the surrounding arch at the top of the coffin was later roughly removed by Armenians and an inscription in the Armenian alphabet was added, in an attempt to pass it off as an "Armenian monument."

In the village of Naraduz, in a place historically called “Abillu” by the Azerbaijani population, there is a chest-shaped tombstone with various motifs belonging to the “martyr” emir Sadaddin ibn Seyfaddin, who died in 1305. This is one of the oldest Muslim written monuments in Armenia.
On one side of the chest-shaped tombstone in the Naraduz cemetery, two dragons standing facing each other are depicted, and on the other side the following inscription is carved in Arabic: “This grave is of the deceased martyr who rose to the mercy of God…. Seven hundred and fourth year.” The Hijri year 704 coincides with the Gregorian calendar year 1304–1305. The length of the chest is 1.5, width 0.7 meters, and height is about 0.9-1 meter.
It is located 6 km from the district center, near the Kavar River. It is mentioned in the “Compendium of Yerevan Province”.
The village has been the homeland of the Turkic-Oguz tribes and Caucasian Albanians since ancient times, and the first Armenians were resettled to the area from Turkey, numbering 605 people in 105 families.

The toponym is an orotoponym formed from the combination of the word “nori” and the word “düz” (flat) in Turkic languages, which means “steep cliff, deep valley, abyss”. It is a structurally complex toponym. The local population, Azerbaijanis, pronounced the name in the form “Neradüz”.
