Yazidi leader in Armenia appeals to India for support at the United Nations !
Hyderabad (Telangana) – The leader of the Yazidi community, an Iraqi religious minority persecuted by the ‘Islamic State’, hopes that India will help him by presenting his case at the United Nations. Khader Hajoyan, president of the ‘Yazidi National Union’ in Armenia, expressed this hope at the ‘Lokmanthan 2024’ in Hyderabad (Bhagyanagar).
Khader Hajoyan said that he had come to India in 2015. At that time, many organizations including religious leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had provided humanitarian assistance to the Yazidis. They also wanted protection for the Yazidis at the national level. Yazidis did not have their own country. India has the power to present their problems to the world.
In 2014, Islamic State terrorists killed thousands of Yazidis in northern Iraq and forcibly enslaved women and girls. Yazidi girls and women were still being held captive. The Kurds had declared the Yazidis to be ‘devil worshippers’.
