Hamlet Muradov who contributed to the “Riya taza”
newspaper published in Yerevan and the radio
broadcasted in Kurdish and lives now in Stockholm
said that they didn’t consider Aziz Tamoyan as the
leader of world Yezidis, APA reports quoting
Armenian press.
Muradov said that Tashin bey was the leader of world
Yezidi Kurds and Aziz Tamoyan was fraud who worked
at Armenian Defense Ministry.
“He derives benefit from the facts of insulting
Kurds in Armenian Army. He is misleading Kurds to
serve to the Armenian adventure”, he said.
Charkaz Maroyan, chief of Kurdistan Committee in
Armenia drawing attention to the election of the
“Nagorno Karabakh’s former defense minister”, now
the head of “Dashnik” Party Samvel Babayan the
honorary member of “World Yezidis national unity
stressed that Aziz Tamoyan’s activity creates
separation among Kurds.
Maroyan said that Tamoyan advised him not to spread
information on the hurting of Kurds in Armenian Army
many times. He said that if follows that, he will be
under the protection of Sarkisyan.
Maroyan stated that they will never forget the
continuous deceptive thoughts of Sakisyan, Babayan
about Kurds.
“The Kurd’s intellectual level is low and therefore,
they are used in relevant positions in the Army like
in civil life”, Armenian Defense Minister Sarkisyan
said at the event dedicated to the 15th anniversary
of Armenian Army on March 28. And Kurds expressed
their dissatisfaction with this statement.
On March 22, leader Aziz Tamoyan said “They want to
disrupt Yezidi people,” . According to him some
people have decided to disrupt the yezdi community
in Armenia. “Though minority, we are RA citizens. We
know all leaders of the 27 parties but we need to
elect just one of them. If I make our choice public,
it will give reason to some conflict.
For minorities it is a secret voting. We know who we
are electing, but I won’t tell it.” Although Mr.
Tamoyan has refrained from informing who yezdi
residents are voting for, the yezdi people are
turned out to be adherents of three parties:
‘Alliance', ‘Prosperous Armenia' and 'People's
Party'.

** The Yazidi or Yezidi are primarily ethnic Kurds.
The origins of Yazidism are ultimately shrouded in
Middle Eastern prehistory. Although the Yazidis
speak Kurdish
Yazidis in Iraq & Kurdistan
It is alleged by some that during the regime of
Saddam Hussein, Yazidis were considered to be Arabs
and maneuvered to oppose the Kurds, in order to tilt
the ethnic balance in Kurdistan (northern Iraq), but
this cannot be entirely substantiated. It is known,
however, that the Yazidi's unique identity, despite
being ethnically Kurdish, was in fact used by the
Baathist regime to isolate one from the other.
However, both groups fought against Baathist troops,
often in joint Peshmerga units. Since the 2003
occupation of Iraq, the Kurds want the Yazidi to be
recognized as ethnic Kurds to increase their numbers
and influence.
Religious significance
The Yazidis consider Melek Taus to be a benevolent
angel that has redeemed himself from his fall, and
has become a demiurge who created the cosmos from
the Cosmic Egg. After he repented, he cried for 7000
years, his tears filling 7 jars, which then quenched
the fires of hell.
Melek Taus is sometimes transliterated Malak Ta'us
or Malik Taws. In Semitic languages, malik variably
means "king" or "angel". Taus is
uncontroversially translated "peacock"; however, it
is important to note that peacocks are not, at least
currently, native to the lands where Melek Taus is
worshipped.
This has lead some to speculate that the worship of
Melek Taus was imported from India, though it is
more likely the peacock iconography is a development
from earlier representations depicting the god as a
native fowl, such as a bustard. The Yazidi believe
that the founder of their religion, Sheikh Adi Ibn
Mustafa, was an avatar of Melek Taus. In art and
sculpture Melek Taus is depicted as peacock. The
Yazidi are thought to be unique in their depiction
of their primary god as a bird.
