Most Yazidis left the country and went abroad in the 1980s and 1990s, mostly to Germany and other European countries where they got asylum due to the persecution as an ethnic and religious minority in Turkey. The area they resided was in the south eastern area of Turkey, an area that had/has heavy [[Turkish-PKK conflict|PKK fighting]]. Now a few hundred Yazidi are believed to be left in Turkey.
