1.This report reflects the position of the "Cultural Centre of the Caucasus Yezidi" (hereinafter- CCCY), which works in the field of protection of rights and freedoms, protection of the cultural heritage of the Yazidi community in their countries of residence. The Yazidi community of Armenia is a national minority. 2.The Authors of the CCCY report welcome the official report Republicof Armenia and share many of its assessments and conclusions. We agree that the government of Georgia is committed to following the country's international obligations in the field of the protection of national minorities in several ways, and that there have been some positive changes in national legislation and domestic policy in recent years. 3. The CCCY report, however, is an alternative to the official one. From the outset, we did not consider confrontation with the government's position or the refutation of official information and official conclusions as our goal. The task of the report was to present a different from the official view of the situation with the involvement of other sources of information. At the same time, we tried, as far as possible, to avoid duplication of general information contained in the government report. This kind of description is intended, in our opinion, to promote a more versatile and deeper understanding of interested international organizations about human rights problems in Armenia, among national minorities, as well as meaningful and constructive discussions on these topics within the country. 4.For several decades, especially the last 5 years, conditions have been created when the entire ethnic group began to actively emigrate. -
