Today Turkey is turning a “worse face” to the world because it does not recognize the Armenian Genocide, head of World Yezidi National Union said in Yerevan.

Visiting the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial to the Genocide victims on April 24, Yezidi leader Aziz Tamoyan told journalists that the world will “force” Turkey to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, and it will recognize it officially.

In this regard, Tamoyan particularly emphasized that over 750 000 Yezidis inhabited Western Armenia before 1915, while now they account for only 5000 due to migration to Eastern Armenia.

“Armenians accepted them gladly, and we are grateful for that,” Yezidi Union leader stated adding that Turks should realize that “Armenian Genocide was not committed by a single person”.
