💭 In
2018, Armenia made news by declaring the attack on the Yazidis of
Sinjar as a genocide. Armenia became one of the first countries in
the world to establish a commemoration day for the Yezidi Genocide.
Armenians are a
community who have seen genocide themselves.
Given Armenia’s
tragic history involving the genocide of 1.5 million Armenians by the
Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the presence of
a Yezidi community in Armenia, it is not surprising that Armenia
would designate a day to commemorate the Yezidi tragedy. People who
suffer genocides recognize each other’s pain. Commemoration of
genocides is also a way of promoting justice.
The world's
largest Yazidi Temple
Quba Mêrê
Dîwanê, is located in the village of Aknalich, about 35 kilometers
west of Yerevan, Armenia. Built to provide a central place of worship
for Armenia's Yazidi community, this gleaming, seven-domed temple was
completed in 2019 and serves as a spiritual and cultural hub for
Yazidis worldwide.
Key Features
of the Temple
Symbolism: The
temple features a central 25-meter-high dome and seven smaller
surrounding spires, symbolizing the cosmic structure and holy angels
of the Yazidi faith.
Statue of Malaq
Tawus: A statue of Malaq Tawus, the central sacred figure of Yazidism
(also known as the Peacock Angel), is located in the temple's
courtyard.
Museum and
Seminary: In addition to being a place of worship, the temple complex
includes a museum and a seminary dedicated to teaching Yazidi history
and traditions.
Architectural
Elements: The temple's interior is circular, adorned with symbolic
Yazidi designs, patterns, and peacock motifs.
Significance
for the Yazidi Community
Safe Haven: The
construction of the temple is seen as a testament to Armenia's role
as a safe haven for the Yazidi community, who have historically faced
persecution and genocide.
Spiritual Hub:
Quba Mêrê Dîwanê offers a much-needed central location for Yazidi
worship, religious ceremonies, and festivals, providing a place for
spiritual and cultural practice.
✡ Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recognized the ♰
Armenian Genocide on Tuesday during a
podast interview with Patrick Bet-David — a major diplomatic
reversal that Israel had resisted for many decades.
The
Armenian Genocide took place during the First World War, when some
1.5 million Armenian Christians were murdered by the Muslim Ottoman
Turks.
Modern
historians look upon the events of 1915-1916 as the first of several
genocidal events in the 20th Century, while Turkey disputes the
allegation that its Ottoman predecessors were attempting to
systematically eliminate the Armenian people, as Nazi Germany would
later treat the Jews, or the Hutus of Rwanda would treat the Tutsis,
or the Galla-Oromos of Ethiopia would treat the the ancient Ethiopian
Christians of Tigray, Amhara and Eritrea.
Ongoing
accusations of treachery led the Ottomans to begin forcibly
relocating Armenians away from the front lines of combat against
Russia – which happened to be where most of the Armenians lived.
Many died on the march to concentration camps and many more were
killed in the camps.
The
Armenians say the Ottomans wanted to eliminate them because they were
an inconvenient Christian people standing in the way of the Young
Turks’ vision for a mighty Turkic empire that would stretch from
the Caucasus all the way to China.
Israel
had long avoided recognizing the Armenian Genocide because of
concerns that doing so would complicate relations with Turkey, which
had been one of Israel’s only allies in the Muslim world.
But
in recent years, with Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan backing
Palestinian terror and accusing Israel of genocide for daring to
fight back against truly genocidal groups like Hamas, Israel began to
shift.
