Foreign Affairs committee  Excuse me. Can I have a minute just to clarify something?

Foreign Affairs committee  About what has been said about the Kurdish government here, I think there was some conflict about the subject. In person now, I want to clarify some facts. I disagree with being in a place where they are underestimating what the Kurds' institutions and government have done for

Foreign Affairs committee  All the refugee situations here are bad but according to the Yazidi refugees it's worse because we don't have any help or any access to help. The Christians are getting some help from the Kurds or from organizations here that can help them, but we don't have any such institutes s

Foreign Affairs committee  One year ago, Sinjar was one of the places that had not agreed to be under the security of the Iraqi government or the Kurd government. There was some conflict about this, about who was responsible for the security there. But the Kurd government and the peshmerga were responsible

Foreign Affairs committee  Now Sinjar is not under the control of the Kurds. It is under the control of ISIS. Only the fighters on the mountain of Sinjar are fighting ISIS. But Sinjar as an area is under the control of ISIS.

Foreign Affairs committee  Excuse me?

Foreign Affairs committee  I have no opportunity to talk this widely to other countries, asking them for or giving them their message. Maybe now, through you, I can say my message to all the countries. What we went through, I don't want any person on this earth to go through. Seeing your children dying,

Foreign Affairs committee  Mostly, we need humanitarian help or aid for our people, including housing in the camps. We need military help for our fighters in the mountains in order to provide them with weapons, so that they can fight ISIS.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm not sure I'm blaming the UN, but I think their system is like that. It's somehow too late now. They are too late to provide their help. What I mentioned, or what I meant for you...we want your help to come directly to the refugees. We do not want it to be through the UN.

Foreign Affairs committee  Excuse me, I didn't hear you clearly.
