YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: The national minorities living in Armenia call on the Turkish Government to recognize Armenian Genocide. The president of World Yezidi Union Aziz Tamoyan, while having an interview with Armenpress, mentioned that every year they visit the Cicernakaberd Memorial Complex and bend down before the memory of the Armenian genocide victims. According to him, not only 1.5 million Armenians were massacred by the Turks during 1915-1923, but 500 000 yezidis, as well.

"We condemn the Turkish denial policy. It is a rough crime. Turkey must understand, that the whole world is with Armenia. They ought to keep their bloody hands far away from the nations. We have been standing next to Armenia and continue doing so" said Tamoyan.

The head of Kurdish community Knyaz Hasanov reminded, that Young Turks' government scheduled beforehand to annihilate 1.5 million Armenians and made a Genocide. "On behalf of the Kurdish Community, I am bending down before the memory of the innocent people and calling for finding the power inside and recognize the Armenian Genocide and apologize to the people ", he said.

The main rabin of Armenia Gershtan Burshtein mentioned, that all genocides are the results of human indifference and silence. He notes that he would be happy, if the authorities of his historical homeland recognize the Armenian Genocide.
