The Azerbaijani military aggression of September-November, 2020 was accompanied by organized intensively hate speech and animosity against ethnic Armenians (Armenophobia) enjoying state support in this country.

… The report illustrates the widespread and organized hate speech and animosity as root causes ethnically based killings, torture and inhuman treatment of ethnic Armenians.

All these factors evidence Azerbaijani policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide with terroristic methods against the population of Artsakh by Azerbaijani armed forces during the September-November 2020
war.

This is a continuation of long-lasting state policy of Armenophobia and massive hate speech against ethnic Armenians which is coordinated and supported by Azerbaijani authorities. It had been thoroughly analyzed
and documented by independent experts and published by the Ombudsman of Artsakh in the report of 2018 on Armenophobia in Azerbaijan organized hate speech and animosity towards Armenians.

The PR and media manager of the Azerbaijani football club “Qarabag”, Nurlan Ibrahimov: “We must kill Armenians. No matter whether a woman, a child, an old man. We must kill everyone we can and whoever happens. We should not feel sorry; we should not feel pity. If we do not kill (them), our children will be killed.” This person confirmed and justified the fact of Armenian genocide committed by Turkey.

…

It is worth mentioning that the style and words they use are identical to Armenophobic speeches and words used by the Government bodies and politicians. Speeches and words of cultural representatives and artists,
as well as Government bodies and politicians containing hatred towards ethnic Armenians mean that spread of hatred is in a closed chain and is encouraged by all parties in Azerbaijan.

The military attacks by the Azerbaijani armed forces of September-November, 2020 was accompanied by beheadings, torture, mutilation, atrocities and inhuman treatment inflicted on the bodies of Armenian
servicemen, prisoners of war and civilians which are the result of hatred towards ethnic Armenians. Further deep concern is caused by the fact that these cruelties are followed by photographing or videotaping the
atrocities and publishing them.
