The Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ms. Sabina Aliyeva has sent to international organizations the Part II of the Report on Hate Crimes and Hate Speech against Azerbaijanis, which was released on May 4, 2021.

The purpose of the report is to inform the world community about the results of the hatred policy against Azerbaijanis in and outside of Armenia during the First and Second Karabakh Wars, as well as Tovuz battles of July 2020. It also aims to draw attention to the examples of hate speech against Azerbaijanis used by Armenians through social media platforms.   

The Report was developed on the basis of the information obtained from reliable sources published on social media sites, as well as local and foreign mass media.
