This deep hatred towards the Armenian ethnic identity has been sponsored by the Azerbaijani authorities for years. This has led to impunity for Azerbaijani atrocities against Armenians.
Comments in Azerbaijani social media contain calls for murder, violence and degrading comments about Armenians, including Armenian women (mothers, daughters; sisters, etc.) based on ethnic identity.
Within the Azerbaijani armed attacks against Artsakh on September 19-20, hatred intensified.
