Yezidis emigrated to Turkey expressed a desire to be moved to Armenia
September 2 2014
The 100 thousand dollars provided by the Government of Armenia to
Iraqi Yezidi refugees still has not reached the recipients. This was
said by the Head of "Sinjar" Yezidi National Union, Boris Murazi, in
the conversation with Aravot.am, who returned last night from the
Turkish border, where the camps of Yezidi refugees displaced from Iraq
are deployed. Boris Mirazi was not interested in the destiny of 100
thousand dollars being convinced that it is on the way as it was
transferred through the UN High Commissioner for Refugees office.
Recall that our government assisted Yezidi after the incident when on
August 14, thousands of Yezidis raised a big protest in front of the
government building in protest, accusing the Government of Armenia in
neglect. In the conversation with us, Murazi said that the Yezidi
refugees are expressing a desire to be moved to Armenia knowing that
Yezidis are well treated in our country, but they are unable to do it,
as there is a road issue. Whereas the Armenian authorities had not
proceeded the verbal appeal of the Head of "Sinjar" Union, urging to
submit the appeal in writing. "I do not understand why, in fact, when
submitting in writing, it will take a long time," said Mr. Mirazi. To
our question whether there were people among these refugees who have
relatives in Armenia, the Head of the Union said that there are no
close relative to Yezidis in Armenia, but there are relatives of the
same big family. Boris Mirazi and his colleagues have taken food and
clothing to Yezidi refugees moved to Turkey. According to him, the
Turkish authorities have provided Yezidi refugees with food, but the
problem of shelter is still not solved, people spend overnight in the
street. The matter, according to the Head of the Union, is about more
than 20 thousand refugees.
