The following is a list of Yazidi settlements in Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Armenia, including both current and historical Yazidi settlements. Historically, Yazidis lived primarily in Iraq, Turkey, and Syria.[1] However, events since the end of the 20th century have resulted in considerable demographic shifts in these areas as well as mass emigration.[2] Today, the majority of the Yazidis live in Iraq and are particularly concentrated in the Nineveh Plains and Sinjar areas in the Nineveh Governorate in northern Iraq.[3][4]
