On December 9 the RA NA Deputy Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov met with
the Chairman of the NGO Yazidi Association Sinjar Boris Tamoyan,
the NGO members Mame Amiran, Hamlet Smoyan and the representative of
the Yazidi community Siaband Bakoyan.
The NA Deputy Speaker has noted that December 9 is a symbolic day,
as in 1948 that day the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment
of Genocide and Crimes was adopted by the General Assembly. To his
conviction, the international structures should fight for condemnation
and denial of genocides.
The NA Deputy Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov has considered inadmissible
the mass violence being perpetrated towards the Yazidi population in
the north-western part of Iraq, noting that the Head of the country
also talked about those inhuman violence from the UN high tribune. The
representatives of the Yazidi community in their turn highly assessed
the RA President Serzh Sargsyan's speech in the UN General Assembly.
Touching upon the problems Yazidis living in the north of Iraq, as well
as the violence against the Christians in Syria and the explosion of
the Deir Ez-Zor Saint Martyrs' Armenian Church, the NA Deputy Speaker
has underlined that the genocidal policy continues today.
At the meeting the NA Deputy Speaker has noted that during the numerous
meetings with different national minorities he has received a proposal
to create a council of national minorities to the NA Speaker.
Mr Sharmazanov has expressed readiness to discuss the issue in
the future.
The members of the NGO proposed to organize a photo exhibition on the
violence being perpetrated towards the Yazidis in the north-western
of Iraq in the RA National Assembly in 2015.
At the end of the meeting the NGO representatives thanked the NA
Deputy Speaker for the state care shown by the Armenian authorities
towards the Yazidi community.
