Thank you Mr. President I want to begin with thanking Ms. Rita Izsak, UN Special Rapporteur, for giving me the opportunity to convey the suffering of my people.

Second: ordering immediate reconstruction to the devastated areas of minority groups, and earmarking necessary fund through convening a conference sponsored by granting states and decision makers in aid of Azidi people.
