Yazidism in Syria refers to people born in or residing in Syria who adhere to Yazidism ,[1] a strictly endogamous religion.[2] [3] Yazidis in Syria live primarily in two communities, one in the Al-Jazira area and the other in the Kurd-Dagh .[1] Exact population data of Yazidis in Syria is unavailable, but it is estimated that between 10,000-50,000 Yazidis reside in Syria.[4]
Population numbers for the Syrian Yazidi community are unclear. In 1963, the community was estimated at 10,000, according to the national census, but numbers for 1987 were unavailable.[5] There may be between about 12,000 and 15,000 Yazidis in Syria today.[1] [6] Since 2014, more Yazidis from Iraq have sought refuge in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria to escape the genocide of Yazidis by ISIL .[7] [8] [9] In 2014, there were about 40,000 Yazidis in Syria, primarily in the Al-Jazirah .[10]
Following the extension of the Turkish occupation of northern Syria into the Kurdish-majority Afrin District , reports have emerged of Yazidis in demographically mixed villages of the Kurd-Dagh region being targeted by the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) because of their religious identity,[11] as well as having their shrines desecrated.[12] As in October 2019 Turkey invaded the north eastern part of Syria ; several Yazidi villages have been targeted and their inhabitants fled to the region still under the control of the AANES.[13] Kidnapping of Yazidi women and girls by the SNA is an ongoing problem.[14] [15] [16]
