ONE OF OFFICIALS GUILTY OF YEZIDI GENOCIDE IN IRAQ ARRIVES IN ARMENIA
13:44 | April 20,2015 | Politics
Representatives of the Yezidi community in Armenia have issued a
statement saying Sheikh Shamo (pictured) has no right to participate
in the opening of a monument dedicated to the Yezidi genocide in the
Ottoman Empire.
"Sheikh Shamo, one of the people guilty of the genocide of the Yezidi
community in Iraq by the ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq), has arrived
in Armenia.
Sadly, some Yezidis in Armenia welcomed him and even invited him
to attend the solemn opening of a monument dedicated to the Yezidi
genocide in the Ottoman Empire to be unveiled on April 21. Sheikh
Shamo's participation in the opening of the monument, which is very
valuable for the local Yezidis, will downplay the importance of
the event.
Representatives of non-governmental organizations representing
the interests of the Yezidis in Armenia condemn Sheikh Shamo's
participation in the event and announce that a person, guilty of the
Yezidi genocide in Iraq, who is against the sovereignty of Shingal and
our flag, has no right to speak on behalf of the Yezidis. We urge the
authorities not to accept this impostor," reads the statement issued
by the Yezidi National Union MGO, "Sinjar" Yezidi National Union NGO,
"Shams" NGO and "Yezidi National Committee" NGO.
