YEREVAN, 18 MAY, ARMENPRESS. ISIS has been perpetrating the Yazidi genocide for the past 10 months in the Shangal state of the Republic of Iraq where the Yazidis aren’t newcomers, but are the owners of the thousand-year-old land. ISIS soldiers have taken Yazidis captive at the enslavement camp located near Mosul and are threatening to kill them because their relatives escape and weren’t sold. According to the Islamist monsters, the captive Yazidis shouldn’t let their relatives escape from slavery.
In late April, 215 Yazidi captives escaped from ISIS, and they were mainly elderly, ill people and even disabled people. There was also a four-month-old baby who was born in captivity. The child had no parents. His father was killed by ISIS in August 2014, and the pregnant mother gave birth in captivity.
Isn’t there too much silence? The great powers and civilized mankind aren’t taking any action to free young female captives from ISIS and liberate the women. On the one hand, I’m amazed. On the other hand, I’m sad and ask why people blindly fulfill the commands of this or that person and kill each other. They destroy the 1,000-year-old monuments and other historic assets that are general wealth.
You’re not only killing my compatriots, but are also taking away our right to live peacefully on our thousand-year-old land. It’s time to put an end to this crime. To not see or feel the danger is a trick, to say the least. Change your policy. If you don’t, believe me, life will make you change. The time has come to eliminate ISIS. We must only live in peace.
I believe history punishes those who don’t learn their lessons. Great powers of the world, you have to learn lessons from the atrocities of ISIS and the genocide of the Yazidis.
I wouldn’t be wrong, if I said that nobody loves each other in politics, but in such cases we need to talk to each other like equals.
The only right path is to stop the genocide of the Yazidis and free the Yazidi captives from those barbarians and create the autonomy of the Yazidis and the local Christians.
Let’s swathe the wounds of all mankind together, as the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said in his speech. Let’s show our willpower and let’s free all of us of this evil. Each person’s value will be determined by what we do today.
