 That’s apparently also about people of Julfa. Anyway, I cited sources that indicated that the entire population of Nakhichevan was resettled, including Muslims. In places like the town of Nakhichevan or Ordubad Armenians were a minority. For example, the aforementioned Hamdollah Mostowfi (Qazvini), 14th century historian, says that people of the town of Nakhichevan were white-faced and followed Shafi`i madhab (of Sunni Islam).  I don’t think Armenians were Muslims, and Christians are not mentioned. At the times of Safavids shia Islam became predominant in the region, but it is unlikely that the Armenians increased in number. And no, Armenians were not targeted, the purpose of the resettlement was the scorched earth policy, and shah Abbas left to Ottomans lands with no population, so that they had no food and other supplies.
