YEREVAN (Armenpress) — The Yazidi Union of Armenia said it welcomes the draft law condemning the genocide committed against the Yazidi people by ISIS in northern Iraq which is going to be discussed in the National Assembly.
“We welcome this initiative. It is an important step. All facts exist of what had happened with Yazidis of Iraq, what inhuman attitude was shown against them. It is a genocide, and the world must condemn it,” Chairman of the Yazidi Union of Armenia Aziz Tamoyan said during an interview.
He expressed the hope that other states also will follow Armenia’s example.
He said they expect the involvement of the Yazidi specialists, in particular, lawyer Hasan Tamoyan, who collected all facts, in the discussions of the draft law.
