  • Quba Mêrê Dîwanê is the world's largest Yazidi temple. It is located in the Armenian village of Aknalich, in the province of Armavir, where the Yezidis are the largest minority. The village of Aknalich is located 35 kilometers west of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. The temple was opened in September 2019 and the opening ceremony was attended by the Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia and other Armenian officials. The temple is 25 metres high and consists of seven domes surrounding a central, arched roof, and houses a seminary and museum. The temple is dedicated to the angel Melek Taus and the Seven Angels of Yazidi theology. The highest dome and the other seven surrounding ones symbolize the angels and are adorned with golden suns. The design is heavily inspired by Lalish in northern Iraq, the holiest temple of the Yazidis and a site of pilgrimage. Adjacent to the temple is a Yazidi cemetery. In a statue park opposite the temple are a statue of Nobel Prize winner Nadia Murad, a statue honouring Andranik Ozanian, an Armenian military commander who fought the Ottomans in the late 1880s, and an Armenian apostolic cross intertwined with the Yazidi sun, signifying religious harmony. Funded by an Armenian Yazidi living in Russia, Mirza Sloian, Quba Mêrê Dîwanê was built just a few meters away from Ziarat, Armenia's first Yazidi temple established in 2012. The temple is designed by Artak Ghulyan, one of Armenia's most prolific architects of religious buildings. Yazidis are one of the largest ethnic minorities in Armenia, practicing an ancient, monotheistic belief that has similarities to Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Sufism, and Zoroastrianism along with elements of sun worship. According to the Armenian census, 35,000 Yazidis lived in Armenia in 2011, mostly in the western and northern regions of the southern Caucasus. (en)
  • Куба мере диване — крупнейший в мире езидский храм. Расположен в селе Акналич в Армавирской области Армении в 35 км к западу от Еревана, столицы Армении. В селе этнорелигиозная группа езидов составляет самое многочисленное меньшинство. Храм был открыт в сентябре 2019 года, и на церемонии открытия присутствовали заместитель премьер-министра Армении и другие официальные лица Армении. Храм имеет высоту 25 метров и состоит из семи куполов, окружающих центральную арочную крышу, и в нём находятся семинария и музей. Храм посвящён ангелу Малаку Тавусу и семи ангелам езидского богословия. Самый высокий купол и остальные семь окружающих его куполов символизируют ангелов и украшены золотыми солнцами. Дизайн во многом вдохновлён храмом Лалеш на севере Ирака, главной святыней езидов и местом паломничества. Рядом с храмом находится езидское кладбище. В парке статуй напротив храма находится статуя лауреата Нобелевской премии мира Нади Мурад, статуя в честь Андраника Озаняна, армянского военачальника, сражавшегося с османами в конце 1880-х годов, и армянский апостольский крест, переплетённый с езидским солнцем, символизирующий религиозную гармонию. Храм Куба мере диване был построен на средства армянского езида, проживающего в России, бизнесмена Мирзы Слояна. Новый храм находится всего в нескольких метрах от Зиарата, первого езидского храма в Армении, построенного в 2012 году. Храм спроектирован Артаком Гуляном, одним из самых плодовитых архитекторов религиозных зданий Армении. (ru)
