During the Second Artsakh War, propaganda and encouragement of anti-Armenian violence at the state level significantly contributed to the spread of such calls from Azerbaijani social media users.
Furthermore , a study of records of Azerbaijani social media users shows that mass calls for violence were organised and encouraged at the state level, and were also the result of hate propaganda against Armenians by Azerbaijan.
Those records show that the users who spread such calls encourage and justify the use of violence against ethnic Armenians, including women and children. A significant part of these users call for the physical destruction of Armenians with the use of weapons, which is accompanied by such statements:
“Kill all Armenian children,” “bury them alive,” “do not capture them, kill immediately.”
