Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

Re: Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

There are kurds that live in Armenia and (I think) they are treated very well. I got an email from BeautySavesWorld (many of you might know her, as she has a pretty large and active politically aimed channel on YouTube)

Her email had a video that talks about the Kurds in Armenia. Mainly about a school that is located in a region where lots of Kurds live. They learn a Kurdish language in school and speak it freely. There was more stuff, but I don't remember it now =)

Re: Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

There are almost no muslim Kurd left in Armenia. The Armenian government deported them in 1937 and have since then trying to create the Yezidi religion to a etnicity of its own.

The Yezidi Kurds speaks fluently Kurmanci (north Kurdish) and consider themselfs as Kurds, for an example Singal in south Kurdistan (iraq) has a majority of Yezidi Kurds.

The Yezidi Kurds lived in north Kurdistan (turkey) together with the Armenians, Assyrians and Muslim Kurds until the 1915 Genocide.
The Yezidi Kurds was also killed along with the christians, that is the main reason why they migrated to Armenia. You can find them in the Aragatsotn province and in the Ararat province.

The Kurds established the kurdish newspaper Riya Teze and the Kurdish radiostation Denge Erivan (Kurdish: The sound of Yerevan).
Within the first years in Armenia, the Yezidi/Muslim Kurds published thousands of books and smuggled them into all parts of Kurdistan. That was why the Kurds from all four parts of Kurdistan was so aware of Armenia and the freedom they had there!

The problem is that that the Armenian government discriminates the Yezidi Kurds of Armenia, even today! They fabricate fake facts about them so that they can seperate the Yezidi (Religion) from the Kurds (Etnicity).

I am very interested in the Kurdish situation in Armenia so I have studied several government reports trough the years and they all report the same thing. That the Yezidi´s speaks a "language close to Kurdish" and that they are not the same people as the muslim Kurds.

I speed googled and found a report from 2006 (follow up report) published by the Council of Europe (http://www.coe.int/t/e/human_rights/...%20cri07-1.pdf)
According to this report, there have been several complains from the Yezidi Kurdish communities but the problems have never been solved, not even by the Human Rigth Defenders of Armenia.

It is clear after reading several reports that all the non-Christian communities in Armenia are discriminated. Especially the xxxish and the Kurdish communities.

Armenia must change its policy against the minorities.

There are no Armenian Christians left in Turkish Kurdistan, either.

The Yezidis were persecuted (and even massacred) when they lived under Kurdish Muslims. I agree that Armenia has to change its policy against minorities, but so do Kurdish Muslims.

Yezidis are still in Turkey and never massacred. . . Turkey kept them from Saddam also

Re: Kurdish minortiy in Armenia

gurgin is another bot like osolonor trying to spread his pseudo facts. Yezdi are not kurds and never have been, do they have similarities to kurds? Sure, but turks and kurds have similarities too, even more culturally then ethnic wise, but we wouldn't say turks and kurds are the same, now would we?

Yezdi are just fine in Armenia, the kurds can get the f*** out!

Yezdis are Kurds, Armanen. . .They speak Kurdish also..

Yezdis(Kurds) and moderate Kurds have only different religion from each other.
