The Kurds in Armenia (Armenian: Քրդերը Հայաստանում, romanized: K'rdery Hayastanum, Kurdish: Kurdên Ermenistanê‎) form a major part of the historically significant Kurdish population in the post-Soviet space, and live mainly in the western parts of Armenia. The Kurds of the former USSR first began writing Kurdish in the Armenian alphabet during the NEP era in the 1920s, followed by Latin in 1927, then Cyrillic in 1945, and now in both Cyrillic and Latin.[1]
