History
Muradiye (Armenian: Berkri) is a modern settlement in the Van Province in the southeast of Turkey. Here a fragmentary stele with an inscription (CTU A 5-16) of the Urartian king Minua (9th / 8th century BCE) has been found, which reports the construction of the "Canal of Minua" that is still in use today. The stela is now lost and its exact findspot is unknown.
