Our latest Google Map shows some of the surviving Yezidi villages in the Kurd Dagh, or “Kurdish Mountains”, a largely Kurdish region in the far NW of Syria. Other Yezidi villages in this area have been abandoned, although their shrines and mausoleums remain places of pilgrimage.
Yezidis also live in the main town Afrin (also known as Efrîn) and in other Kurdish settlements in the area.
