YEZIDI NATION SLAUGHTERED IN IRAQ

Social

The massacre of yezidi nation in the small town of Sinjar in the north of Iraq is still going in. Yezidi consider Sinjar their historical native land. Their desire is to see Sinjar under the US control with self-determination right.

In April 2007 a large-scale encroachment on yezidi was made which were followed by August 14 incidents. Shia Kurds burned the houses of 1800 yezidi. Some of them managed to run away to evade the slaughter, many were injured.

Aziz Tamoyan President of the National Union of Yezidi, tries to establish connection with Iraq to get detailed information on the events. But until today he has got no information. No one answers his phone calls.

“Now our relatives in Iraq are isolated. Yezidi from Germany leave for Iraq, but they are not allowed to enter the country, all means of transport are forbidden to enter Iraq. We live in the 21-st century. How dare they abolish one of the ancient nations in the world? I condemn such occurrences”,- announced Aziz Tamoyan in an interview with A1+, adding that Shia Kurds had organized the massacre of yezidi nation “The aim of Shia Kurds is to empty Yezidistan, to occupy our territory, as well as to apostate us, that is to say to make us adopt Moslem”,- said Tamoyan.

Aziz Tamoyan had applied to many international instances, as well as to the presidents of various countries but had not received any respond from them. This time he has decided to apply to the aforementioned structures, as well as to the UN to set up a commission with a yezidi representative and to clear up the real reasons of slaughter and its perpetrators in Iraq.

“Some months have passed, but still I have not received any reply. Their silence means they agree with me. These incidents should be discussed. This commission is of vital importance to ensure the safety of yezidi in Iraq, as well as to prevent the massacres”,- pointed out Tamoyan. During this period protest actions have been organized in various countries of the world where yezidi live in regard with the slaughters in Iraq.
