The Armenian tricolor flag and the Yezidi flag symbolize the same thing for hundreds of thousands of Yezidis because Armenia is home for us Yezidis. This is what leader of the “Mala Yezdia-Home of Yezidis” initiative Ayser Isayan said during today’s rally held by the opposition Homeland Salvation Movement, waving the Yezidi flag.

“Whenever we Yezidis bury our children, we cover them with the Armenian tricolor flag and the Yezidi flag,” Isoyan said. He also asked Yezidi deputy of the My Step bloc of the National Assembly of Armenia Rustam Bakoyan to not speak on behalf of the Yezidis.

“He comes to parliament, and they say he is a deputy representing the Yezidi nation, but in reality, he is a deputy who performs the will of Nikol Pashinyan. I ask him not to speak on behalf of the nation ever again. He is the son of a dignified family, but today he is performing the will,” Ayser Isoyan added.
