Thank you Barbara and indeed not many people in the west know about the history of the Yazidis

For great reading about the unfolding present genocide of the Yazidis then check the wonderful twitter account of Matthew Barber

He is a witness to the atrocities being committed against the Yazidis while the whole world is watching

I'm sure you must be aware of the youtube video of the speech by Vian Dakhil (she is a Yazidi women in the Iraqi parliament) about what the genocide of the Yazidis by members of da'ish and it will bring tears to your eyes

Minorities in the Middle East including the Yazidis and the Christians in Iraq should realize that our leaders in the west do not know or care about them and this is shameful

As for the Turks they should be ashamed of themselves and their history
