Question: How would you comment on the recent events taking place in Iraq?

Answer: The situation continues to remain tense in various parts of Iraq. The actions of radicals have resulted in a great number of victims, thousands of people have been displaced from their homes. The atrocities against civilian population, especially against ethnic and religious minorities continue. We are deeply concerned by the violence against the Iraqi Yazidis by extremists. We share the indignation of Yazidis living in Armenia concerning the ongoing tragic events.

We are unanimous with the international community on the question of necessity to immediately stop the violence of extremists in Iraq. The Armenian Missions in the UN and other international organizations have received respective directives to closely cooperate with stakeholders on this issue.
