The “Cross of combatant” given posthumously to Kiaram Sloyan, hero of the “War of the four days”

On May 28, President Sarkisian presented Mr. Kialache Sloyan’s father Kiaram Sloyan, a young conscript fell during the “four days of War”, the “Croix du combatant” (1st Order) posthumously his bravery on the battlefield.

The father of the young hero said on this occasion to the press that he was “proud to have raised until the age of 18 years a hero.” On 30 May, a class of the village school of Ardachavan (Aragatzodn district), the village of Sloyan family, will be named after this young fighter. The recognition of the entire Armenian people going to this young man and his family sorely tried by the loss of this son. Our joint pain is particularly burdened by the horrible circumstances of the death of Kiaram, a young soldier from the Yezidi community of Armenia, whose head was exhibited on the internet by soldiers of the Azerbaijani army after his beheading. A two-hour flight from Iraq and Syria, the same fanatical prey to the same victims.

Yezidi Families Flee From ISIS to Armenia

August 1, 2015 By administrator

Armenia_yezidi_familiesYEREVAN (RFE/RL)—Three ethnic Yezidi families have taken refuge in Armenia after leaving their homes in Iraqi Kurdistan, close to territories controlled by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS). Members of Armenia’s Yezidi community welcomed the families in Armenia on Thursday.

Boris Murazi, the head of the association of Sinjar Yezidis, organized a campaign in a Yerevan park on Friday to try to raise funds as well as collect food and clothing for the families, which in total are nineteen people, including seven children, so as to help them cope with the difficulties of life in a foreign country during their first days of stay.

“Before they left and moved here they lived just five kilometers from where ISIS forces are based. And if Kurdish forces made another retreat, these people would have been targeted again,” Murazi told RFE/RL’s Armenian Service.

“These people had an option of going to Europe, but I think that from the point of view of Yezidis it is better to be in Armenia. So, we helped them come here and have provided them with accommodation.”

Armenia, an ethnically homogenous country with a population of about 3 million people, is home to some 50,000 Yezidis, which makes them the country’s largest ethnic and religious minority.

Last year ISIS forces displaced more than 400,000 Yezidis from their homes in northern Iraq. More than 20,000 were killed and more than 5,000 Yezidi women and girls are still being held captive. Thousands more are still missing.

Responding to appeals from leaders of Armenia’s Yezidi community, the Armenian government last August decided to provide humanitarian assistance to Yezidis suffering due to the onslaught of ISIS in northern Iraq.

Earlier this year, the National Assembly of Armenia issued a statement condemning the persecution of religious and ethnic minorities in Iraq and Syria at the hands of ISIS. All six parliamentary factions backed the statement that singled out the Yezidi community in Iraq as a target for ISIS extremists.

Fadl Dshar, a 17-year-old Yezidi refugee, said all he knew about Armenia was that it is a non-Muslim nation. He said that at the time, security was most important for his family.

“We have escaped from ISIS militants. It was no longer secure for us to stay in a Muslim country,” he said.

Dshar also claimed pressures from Kurdish authorities which he said persecuted Yezidis for their public activities.

The three Yezidi families that have arrived in Armenia are staying in the western province of Armavir. They say that they will look for jobs to earn a living in Armenia.

“It’s important that we are away from Kurdistan. At least our lives are not in danger,” Dshar said.

Testimonials Yezidi Kurds of Zakho Shengal refugees

Wherever they went in Mosul Shengal, Qaraqosh, Makhmour, jihadists of IE have committed atrocious crimes against the population, especially against non-Muslims such as Christians and Yazidis, those who refuse to convert Islam are killed, women are raped, abducted and sold into slavery. Yezidis even less likely since the jihadists do not even offer them to convert.

Every step of the IU throws hundreds of thousands of people on the roads. Those who do not have the means to go far take refuge in the mountains and are facing starvation. Hundreds of Yezidi children died of dehydration in Mount Shengal. Thousands of people are still trapped in the arid installation, with temperatures exceeding 40 °.
