The Kurds in Armenia (Armenian: Քրդերը Հայաստանում, romanized: K’rderë Hayastanum; Kurdish: Kurdên ErmenistanêКӧрден Әрмәньстане), also referred to as the Kurds of Rewan[a] (Kurdên Rewanê), form a major part of the historically significant Kurdish population in the post-Soviet space, and live mainly in the western parts of Armenia.
Kurds and Yazidis are counted as separate ethnic groups in Armenia (on the relationship between Yazidis and Kurdish identity, see Yazidis#Identity). The latest census conducted in Armenia (2011) recorded 35,308 Yazidi and 2,162 Kurdish inhabitants of Armenia based on the self-identification of the respondents.[1] Practically all of those who identified themselves as Kurds in the census are members of the Yazidi community who embrace a Kurdish identity; extremely few Muslim Kurds live in Armenia today.[4][5]
Since 2015, four seats in Armenia's parliament are guaranteed for representatives of the country's ethnic minorities, of which one seat is reserved for a representative of the Yazidi community and one seat for the Kurdish community.[6]
