Yezidis also victim of “media genocide”
Yezidis, being one of the oldest nations of the Middle East, are on the verge of extinction in their own homeland. Besides being subjected to physical extermination, another condemnable phenomenon is added to it. The question is that many worldwide media (electronic, print), whether intentionally or mistakenly, represent Yezidis as Kurds, which is evident injustice. It must be stated that we- Yezidis, call ourselves Ezdi, and our neighbors know us as Yezidi, Yezid, which is comprehensible from the point of view of linguistics. For us it is offending and wrong that we are considered Kurds, who have no connection and commonality with us. We call all the media of the world to call us Yezidi, Yezidi people, Yezidi nation. By this you will reflect the truth as well as will express your respect to our small, suffered nation, which has its own unique culture and history.
