The following is a list of
tribes of
Kurdish people, an ethnic group from the geo-cultural region of
Kurdistan in Western Asia.
Armenia and Georgia
Kurdish tribes in
Armenia and
Georgia consist of
Yazidis who arrived in Caucasus from the regions of
Van,
Kars and
Dogubayazit during two main waves of migrations, the first wave taking place during the Russo-Ottoman wars of 19th century (
1828-1829 and
1879-1882) and the second wave taking place during
World War 1, especially during and after the
Armenian genocide where Yazidis were also targeted alongside Armenians. Before migrating, Yazidis formed an integral part of Kurdish tribal interactions in the
Ottoman Empire. The Yazidis of Armenia who arrived during the first wave of migrations, settled in
Aparan and
Talin provinces in the mountainous regions of
Aragatz, whereas the Yazidis who arrived during the second wave settled in villages across
Ashtarak,
Echmiadzin and
Armavir.[1]
