On the opening day of the ziyarat (temple) "Quba heft merê dîwanê u Tawûsê Melek" the head of the "Cultural Center of the Caucasus Yazidis" Yuri Smoyev met with Viktor Anatolievich Nadein - Rayevsky – Ph. D., senior researcher of the Institute of political and social studies of the black sea-Caspian region, leading researcher of the Institute of world economy and international relations of the RAS.

The meeting discussed the problems of the Yazidi people, the genocide, the development of the Yazidi community as a whole.

Viktor Anatolyevich Nadein-Rayevsky noted that unfortunately many Kurds claim that all Kurds and Yazidis need to be joined together. This is a big mistake, because the Yazidi people is one of the oldest Nations in the world having its own history, culture and traditions.

Viktor Anatolyevich reminded about the civil confrontation and in fact the civil war of Ottoman Turkey, which led to mass migrations of the Yazidi people in 1915.

During the meeting, the issue of the development of the Yazidi language, the problematic dialects spoken by the Yazidis and the Kurds was touched upon. Very interesting was the information about the statement of the Kurds that the Kurds and Yazidis speak Kurmanji, but it is not scientifically studied, there is no scientific work on this topic. Kurds refer themselves to the dialect of Gorani, Sorani, Zazani. Considering these adverbs and languages, Viktor Anatolyevich noted that Sorani has no cases and there is no masculine or feminine gender in the spoken language.

The issue of the problems of the Yazidis, who still live in Iraq, was also touched upon. Viktor Anatolyevich noted that in this matter a lot depends on the Iraqi authorities, the local administration, the public, and expressed hope that with the efforts of the international community will be able to help the Yazidis to restore their areas of residence.
