Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Yazidi Community in Iraq: Yazda UK and Ireland

Ms Natia Navrouzov:

I would like to thank the Chairman and members for their time, empathy and the support I can see already. I also thank them for taking some practical steps and considering the activity we have suggested. I know the Covid restrictions are making things difficult currently but I hope that, next year, some of the members might be able to visit us in our offices and meet our survivors. It is so impressive how much power they still carry in them and how much willpower they have to change things. I am doing a lot of work on these issue but I do not enjoy anything more than working directly with the survivors. I hope to see the committee members very soon and I thank them very much for their kindness and support.
