    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.
