The Yazidi community is the biggest of the ethnic minorities living
in Armenia- more than 35.000 people. A decade ago their number was
about 10.000 more. "The main reason for migration is social-economic
conditions, there is no political problem, noted Siaband Bakoyan, the
representative of the Yazidi community of Council for Coordination
of Activities of National-Cultural Organizations of the National
Minorities of Armenia.
At present Yazidis have 20 homogeneous villages in our country, where
the main problem is the lack of medical centers or their incomplete
condition. There are problems also in the sphere of education. "We
would like to have a representative at the Ministry of Science and
Education,"- highlighted Mr. Bakoyan. At present 562 Yazidi children
study in the capital.
They have 20 villages in Aragatsotn region, "Isn't it possible to
have a representative at that regional administration?,"- noted the
representative of the Yazidi community.
The Greek community in Armenia has 2800 members, the majority lives in
Lori region. "In the course of time they leave for their homeland or
Russia,"- noted Chairman of "Ilios" NGO, representative of the Greek
community Slava Rafaelidis. He hopes that the statement intended by
the National Assembly condemning their and Assyrians' genocide will
be adopted until April 24.
According to the official data, the Assyrian community consists of 3000
people. "But according to our calculations there are 6000 Assyrians
in Armenia,"- highlighted Arsen Mikhailov, Chairman of the "Atur"
Assyrian union. He also claims that they have no political problems,
the main difficulties are the social conditions.
