In pictures: Yezidi Kurds

The Yezidi settlements are the highest in Armenia - up to 3,000m (9,840ft) above sea level.

The big event of each day is milking the sheep.

The shepherds bring the animals back to the camp, separating them from lambs and rams and then corralling them.

A man sits by the entrance of the corral and holds two sheep, which are milked by two women.

The milk is then poured into a vat, boiled, leavened and left to rest for a couple of hours.
