Armenian Ambassador to Canada Armen Yeganian had a meeting with Mirza
Ismail, the Head of the Yazidi community of Canada.
Issues related to the further development of cooperation between
the Armenian and Yazidi national structures, and the organization
of joint events commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide were discussed.
Ambassador Yeganian hailed the centuries-long friendship between
the two peoples and praised the contribution of the Yazidis to the
development of Armenian statehood. He said the Yazidi community has
always enjoyed the special attitude of the Armenian government.
The parties expressed concern over the atrocities against the
Yazidis in the north of Iraq and emphasized the importance of larger
involvement of the international community in the protection of the
rights of the Yazidi people.
The interlocutors agreed that the crimes against the Yazidi, Christian
and other ethnic or religious minorities in the Middle East should be
properly assessed by international structures and the guilty should
be held accountable, since impunity results in new crimes.
