The NA deputy Rustam Bakoyan visits his compatriots living in different Armenian settlements almost every week.

The deputy’s regular visit was in Norashen community, Ararat region this week. About 20 Yazidi families live here – almost 100 people in general. They are engaged in horticulture and cultivate heat-loving vegetables. They are also engaged in large and small animal husbandry, breeding and poultry farming.

Rustam Bakoyan’s visit was a surprise, but a few minutes later there was already a commotion in the village: at the beginning men gathered. “The problems are almost identical in all communities. There are difficulties to reach pastures. The roads, though being renovated every year, are destroyed.The leveling works of the roads should be done, the MP noted, there is also a very important issue due to this concrete community: there is no drinking water near the Yazidi cemetery - the nearest source is 3 to 4 km away.”

And meanwhile men tried to disclose the dark side of politics, the Yazidi schoolchildren of Norashen raised a question concerning them: there is no class of Yazidi language in the school of the village. “That issue is urgent in this community, every one should know their mother language,” 15 years old Nanar who is excellent in studies and wants to become a lawyer has underlined.

The MP promised to study the raised questions in more detail and to respond them as soon as possible.
