Book dedicated to Armenian-Yezidi heroes presented in Yerevan

A book dedicated to the Yezidi soldiers killed during defense battles in Armenia was presented in Yerevan on Friday to praise their feats and endless devotion to peace.

Written by Boris Murazi and Zemfira Kalashyan, “Yezidi Hero on Border” is available in both the Yezidi and Armenian languages.  

        

The authors tell about the feats Sidar Aloyan, Kyaram Sloyan, Hamlet Hajoyan and Boris Omazyan. The latter three were killed during the violent fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh in April. The heroes’ biographies, addressing different episodes of their lives, are depicted in the book to reveal their character, Murazi said.

 

“We had about 100 victims during the four-day war; yet, very often, we do not know the characters behind names. And so we have tried to open those brackets to see what citizens Armenia lost. Sidar Aloyan, in particular, had an opportunity to receive education in Germany, but he had turned down [such an offer] to go to the army. Having studied their lives, I can say for sure that they would be very useful citizens of the Republic of Armenia,” Murazi said.

The authors are planning to send copies of the edition also to the Yezidi communities of different countries abroad.
