On Yazdi ethnic minority.

Yazdi have been the target of persecution for centuries, often unjustly accused of being devil worshipers. In Armenia they live as free people. Their religion forbids them to accumulate goods. Some of Yazdi families spend summers in mountains of Armenia, living under tents to come back to their ethnically pure villages when winter comes.
