Dear representatives of the Yezidi community,
I'd like to congratulate you on the Yezidi new Year-Malakke Taus.
The centuries-old friendship between Armenian and Yezidi people is first of all based on peaceful labour and neighbourly relationship. In the years of hardships our people together fought against common enemy making this friendship close and unbreakable. Due to it many generations of Yezidis have considered Armenia their homeland. The four-day April war proved once again that Yezidis and Armenians are always ready to resist the enemy and I am sure it will never change. Congratulating you I want to wish your families peace and joy and welfare to your community.
