Armenia is deeply concerned over violence against Yazidis in northern Iraq that cost numerous human lives, presidential spokesman Arman Saghatelyansaid in a statement.
“Use of violence against any ethnic and religious minority group, specifically against Iraqi Yazidis, is absolutely unacceptable, and the international community should take immediate measures to stop the violence and provide humanitarian assistance.”
