Seyidkend is a village in the Iravan uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Zangibasar (Masis) district, and currently in the Ararat province. Before the formation of the former Zangibasar district, the village was part of the Gamarli (Artashat) district. Another name for the village was Garapapag. It was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 130 in 1831, 345 in 1873, 346 in 1886, 483 in 1897, 410 in 1904 and 705 in 1914. In 1918 the Azerbaijanis, the original inhabitants of the village, having been exposed to the aggression of Armenian armed units, were deported from the village. Only after the establishment of Soviet power in the territory of present-day Armenia, the surviving Azerbaijanis were able to return to their ancestral lands. The village was inhabited by 99 Azerbaijanis in 1922, 131 in 1926, 118 in 1931. According to the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers “On the resettlement of collective farmers and other Azerbaijani population from the Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowland of the Azerbaijan SSR” dated 23 December 1947, the Azerbaijani population of the village was forcibly deported to Azerbaijan. Some of the deportees were able to return to their native village in 1952. The village was later abolished and included in the newly-created Kalinin settlement. In 1988 the Azerbaijani inhabitants were completely deported by the Armenian state. At present, Armenians live in the village.

The toponym was coined by combining the the ethnonym “Seyid” and the geographical lexical unit “kend” and means “the village of the Seyid tribe”.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 3 April 1991, the village was renamed “Noramarg”. According to the law “On Administrative-Territorial Division of the Republic of Armenia” dated 7 November 1995, it was integrated into the administrative area of the Ararat province.
