Information

According to our great-grandfathers who were residents of Narimanli village, the name of the village was changed many times from the first day of its foundation, the end of the 14th century (1387-1388), the beginning of the 15th century (1410-1415) until December 1988. Huseyn­guluaghali (1387-1388) lived in Nariman until December 1926-1988. The dates of origin of the village's names Chukhurlu, Chamirli, and Ortakand are not recorded because they are not exact. As one of the religious-spiritual places of the region, in the Narimanli village cemetery, 3-5 tombstones with figures of rams and horses were preserved as a place of faith of the population, children who were slow to walk and did not open their mouths circled around those tomb­sto­nes. These monuments were stolen and taken to various museums, like our other historical, material and moral treasures that were stolen and destro­yed.

In the Nariman­li village ceme­tery, 3-5 gra­ves­tones with figures of rams and horses were preserved as places of faith of the popu­la­tion. The monu­ments represent the ancient his­torical heritage of Azerbaijan in the area.
