E-Mail 'Largest Yazidi Temple to Be Built in Armenia' To A Friend

4 Comments

1. It’s better to have a Yezidi than a Masonic temple in Armenia. The latter will inevitably contribute to the destruction of the Armenian statehood…

   • Yazidis _volunteered_ in healthy numbers to fight in Artsakh during 1988-1994. They fought valiantly. They have been loyal citizens of Armenia for generations. They have earned right to build the largest Yazidi temple in Armenia.

     And I am glad the new RoA constitution allocates RoA minorities seats in the National Assembly.

2. I wonder if non-Yazidis would be allowed in, because I’m curious to see what it will look like inside. Much respect for the Yazidis.

3. Dear Readers,
   My father Sarkis’s cousin Faron age 15 walked through Syria and made it into Iraq in 1915. Luckily for her, she was taken in by Yazidis in the Sinjar and was kept safely there for the duration of the war. If you don’t know the history, the Yazidis adamantly refused to hand over Armenian children to the Turkish gendarmes. And God bless them for that. My father really liked the Yazidis and I know had he lived he would have been very pleased about their temple in Armenia. Also as a truck driver in Iraq in the 1930s he went everywhere and loved the country and the people. He married my mother in Mosul and they would be appalled at the destruction of Assyrian and Armenian churches by ISIS. And by the way, ISIS destroyed extremely historical mosques in the Mosul region as well as the revered tomb of Jonah, Nebi Yunis.
   Sincerely,
   Ellen Sarkisian Chesnut
