YEREVAN. – The European Parliament-adopted resolution, pursuant to which the Islamic State’s actions against Christians, Yazidis and other minorities are characterized as genocide, can have positive results.

Vice Chairman of the “Yazidi National Committee” NGO of Armenia, Sashik Sultanyan, stated the aforesaid at a press conference on Saturday.

As per Sultanyan, this resolution can have positive results because it makes references to the previous UN reports, and calls on the UN Security Council to take appropriate preventive measures.

In his words, this resolution will also become the subject of other debates in Europe because it will be discussed in a variety of  committees, and a respective subsequent action plan will be worked out.

The European Parliament on Thursday adopted a resolution characterizing the Islamic State’s violence and harassment against Christians, Yazidis, and other religious and ethnic minorities as genocide.
