    YEREVAN, AUGUST 1, ARMENPRESS: The distribution of Kurdish textbooks in
    Yazidi schools of Armenia is a trend of beginning new action against
    Yazidis which is headed by unknown forces. Such opinion expressed
    president of the Union of Armenian Yazidis Aziz Tamoyan during press
    conference on August 1. "It is a very serious problem and we receive
    many complaints regarding it.

    We created special committees, applied to the President of the Republic
    of Armenia and some foreign countries in order Kurdish language is
    no longer taught in Aragatsotn region. It is also interesting that
    Kurds are getting more and more very quickly," said Tamoyan, reports
    "Armenpress".

    He applied to municipality of the region and got an answer that in the
    villages where Yazidis live; people consider themselves Yazidi-Kurds.

    But it makes Tamoyan angry as he is sure that there has never been
    such nationality. "If they are Kurds why do their surnames end with
    "yan?" Any Kurd does not want to have Armenian surname. Our language is
    Yazidi and not Kurdish," mentioned Tamoyan and added that the number
    of Armenians, Russians, Yazidis is getting less but Kurds get more
    year by year. He is sure that it is an intended attempt of crippling
    the culture and history of Yazidis.

    President of the Union of Armenian Yazidis mentioned during the press
    conference that there is information htta Yazidis want to learn Kurdish
    but it is an absurd. Majority of them do not want their children to
    be taught in Kurdish. Instead they are not against Armenian.

    In the whole world there are 1.5 million Yazidis. Only in Armenia
    lived 50000 - 60000 Yazidis but today there are only 35 000. In
    Yerevan live 7000 Yazidis.
