Council of Europe should urge Azerbaijan to take decisive measures to cease state sponsored hate speech, Armenia’s representative to CoE

Arman Khachatryan, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the Council of Europe, referred to an anti-Armenian and anti-Semite publications in Azerbaijani media. 

“This is deplorable display of hate speech, clearly racist content and praisal of Nazism. Council of Europe should urge Azerbaijan to take decisive measures to cease state sponsored hate speech, racial, ethnic and religious intolerance towards Armenians”, Khachatryan tweeted.

Khachatryan also shared a tweet by “Stop Antisemitism”, non-partisan American based organization fighting antisemitism on a media article in Azerbaijan, which said “Hitler is more humanist than any Armenian leader in history”. 

“StopAntisemitism is horrified to see a newspaper in Azerbaijan publish this. Adolf Hitler massacred 6 millions Jews and 5 million others. The word “humanist” and his name do not belong in the same sentence”, the organization tweeted.
