Additional evidence on the state policy of
Armenophobia in Azerbaijan, and the deep-rooted ethnic hostility towards
Armenians.
The official statements of the President of
Azerbaijan regarding Armenia and Armenians:
1) We
will continue to expel those liars (meaning Armenians). They see that we are
teaching them a lesson that they will never forget;
2)
The neither have conscience nor morality;
3)
They do not even have a brain;
4) For
30 years it (meaning Artsakh, especially Fizuli [meaning Varanda]) was in the
hands of wild monsters, in the hands of predators, in the hands of jackals;
5)
The remains of Fizuli is a manifestation of
Armenian fascism, and evidence of Armenian fascism;
6) It
was as if a wild tribe had taken over the city;
7)
We have to fight harder against Armenia. We
have isolated it from all international and regional projects.
These same words are used by the Azerbaijani
military servicemen in the videos of murder, torture and inhuman treatment of
Armenian military servicemen and civilians.
The details are reflected in the 2020 joint Ad
Hoc Report of the Human Rights Defenders of Armenia and Artsakh “On organized
hate speech and animosity towards ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan as root causes
of ethnically-based torture and inhuman treatment by Azerbaijani Armed Forces”.
