DİYARBAKIR (DİHA) - Êzîdîs from tent cities organized Kurdistan municipalities returned to their tents after not being allowed to cross over to Bulgaria through Edirne Border Gate.

Êzîdîs from tent cities organized by Batman, Mardin, and Diyarbakır municipalities returned to their tents after not being allowed to cross over to Bulgaria through Edirne Border Gate.

However, the Êzîdî refugees that did not want to go to AFAD camps got threatened with deportation. Êzîdîs want to return to their old camps and say that they tried to see themselves if they could cross over to Europe.

Êzîdî refugees acknowledged municipal workers’ warnings about the risks of their crossing attempt, and said that the aid they receive from South Kurdistan would be cut off if they publicized the real reason behind their decision to go to the Bulgarian border.

Êzîdîs also acknowledged the help they have been receiving from the Kurdish Freedom Movement, and added that they would only return to Shengal if the town is liberated from ISIS gangs and the system of autonomy is established in the city.
