Andranik Petrosyan, head of the village of Myasnikyan of Armavir marz
(province), promised to restore the Yezidi cemetery once the weather
is warmer, representative of the Sinjar Yazidi National Union Boris
Tamoyan informed Epress.am. According to him, villagers, as well as
the entire Yazidi community,will be monitoring the situation so the
cemetery is restored.
Representatives of the organization a few days ago went to the village,
spoke with the villagers, and the son of the businessman, Seryozha
Grigoryan, who caused damage to the cemetery, and they saw the state
of the cemetery itself.
According to Tamoyan, the businessman's family denies they destroyed
the cemetery. According to Grigoryan's son, while reinstating the
vineyard, a few stone slabs were broken, but unintentionally. The
Grigoryans denied also that they're relatives of Republican Party
of Armenia MP Hrant Grigoryan, a relation that villagers had earlier
claimed.
The 22 graves were destroyed 6 months ago, which Sinjar reported at
the start of this year.
