Armenophobia highly prevalent in Azerbaijani public narrative, warns Ombudsperson

 11:22, 6 July 2023

YEREVAN, JULY 6, ARMENPRESS. The public narrative in Azerbaijan is full of Armenophobia, the Human Rights Defender of Armenia Anahit Manasyan warned Thursday.

She cited a recent report by her office quoting and describing the speeches by the Azeri government officials, including the president, lawmakers and others.

Given the status of those who make the anti-Armenian statements it is obvious that Armenophobia is state-sponsored in Azerbaijan, Manasyan said, adding that in this condition it is impossible to find solutions guaranteeing human rights.

Manasyan made the remarks at the July 6 Armenia-Nagorno Karabakh telebridge press conference.

She said that the Ombudsperson’s reports are regularly provided to international partners.

The Armenian Ombudsperson’s office is conducting daily monitoring of the Azerbaijani press regarding the policy of Armenophobia in Azerbaijan.

The reports also include human rights violation committed as a result of the illegal Azeri military deployment inside Armenian territory. The aim of the Azeri policy of Armenophobia is to commit ethnic cleansing in a specific region and specific settlements.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
