Only Armenians understand the pain of the Yazidi, the only difference the Armenian massacre was at massive scale and it was by the Turkish government.
It’s an impossible question to answer. Then again, it’s difficult to fathom most anything thousands of minority Yazidis have endured in recent weeks as they’ve fled from ISIS militants into remote, rugged, sparse mountains of northern Iraq.
Now some of them are under siege or under fire, targeted by ISIS for not succumbing to demands to convert to Islam or else. Others, like Tariq, have managed to find some refuge in recent days, though worries remain about finding the resources they need to survive.
Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said the Sunni militants had also buried alive some of their victims, including women and children. Some 300 women were kidnapped as slaves, he added.
“Some of the victims, including women and children were buried alive in scattered mass graves in and around Sinjar,” Sudani said.
The minister’s comments could pile pressure on the United States – which has carried out air strikes on Islamic State targets in response to the group’s latest push through the north – to provide more extensive support.
“In some of the images we have obtained there are lines of dead Yazidis who have been shot in the head while the Islamic State fighters cheer and wave their weapons over the corpses,” said Sudani. “This is a vicious atrocity.”
at least now there is USA to come to call for help but in Armenian case when they ask the british for help the answer was our ships can not climb Mount Ararat.
