Witness to the Yazidi genocide: ISIS attacked Shangal with the help of the Turkish state and the KDP
Speaking at the conference in the European Parliament, Suad Murad Khalaf, a witness of the Yazidi genocide, said, "ISIS attacked Shengal with the help of the Turkish state and the KDP."
Among the speakers were Nujiyan Günay, Spokesperson of the Umbrella Organization of the Yezidi Women’s Councils, Members of the European Parliament Özlem Demirel, Katrin Langensiepen and Lorena López de Lacalle, the Secretary of the European Women's Lobby Organization Mary Collins as well as the Member of the Chamber of Representatives of Belgium Georges Dallemagne.
Rojda Arslan, a lawyer and consultant for international criminal law and human rights, made a presentation on the recognition of genocide under international law and at the political level.
Arslan emphasised the obligations of European countries after the recognition of the Yazidi genocide and said, "They have two duties: Prosecuting the perpetrators of genocide and preventing a new genocide".
Tigran Balayan, Head of the Mission of Armenia to the EU, took the floor and also made a speech at the conference. He mentioned that Armenia always stands by its Yezidi brothers and sisters and is the voice of Yezidis in the international arena, which is embodied by the presence of the largest Yezidi temple in Armenia.
Marion Böker said that after the recognition of the genocide, the European Union and its countries should fulfil their obligations and action should be taken for the Yazidis in the same way as it was taken for Ukraine. Böker also called for compensation for the survivors of the genocide and said, "In this way, they can build a future for themselves and protect it. The EU and the United Nations should close the airspace of not only Shengal but also of northern and eastern Syria to Turkish warplanes. The status of Shengal should also be recognised.”
