Armenia |
The Armenian alphabet is
an alphabetical writing system used to write Armenian. It was
developed around 405 AD by Mesrop Mashtots, an Armenian
linguist and ecclesiastical leader. It originally included 36
letters but now includes 39.
According to the 2011
census, there are 35,272 Yazidis in Armenia. Ten years earlier,
in the 2001 census, 40,620 Yazidis were registered in Armenia.
Media have estimated the number of Yazidis in Armenia as between
30,000 and 50,000. Most of them are descendants of refugees to
Armenia following persecution during Ottoman rule, including
during the Armenian Genocide, when many Armenians found refuge in
Yazidi villages.
