Videos and photos of war atrocities are sent to Armenian pages and private users from Azerbaijani social media sources, while spreading hatred towards ethnic Armenians. Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan informs about this.

“The alarms submitted to the Human Rights Defender, these round-the-clock studies show that the mentioned videos and photos are sent in the form of separate messages, accompanied by exceptional cynicism and threats.

Moreover, the monitoring of social networks shows that Azerbaijani or Turkish accounts or pages are opened or activated, the special purpose of which is to spread videos and photos that show killed soldiers or the process of killing itself, accompanied by atrocities.

At the same time, the inspections show that not all the materials of the atrocities contain servicemen of the Artsakh or Armenian Armed Forces, but they are presented with falsified and false information, so that it is about the atrocities committed by the members of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces against them and refers to the hostilities since 27 September.

In any case, these videos are placed in an edited and processed state, which proves that they are undergoing professional training; these works are systematic and organized.

One of the salient features of the pages or accounts of the mentioned Azerbaijani social networks is that they are often made to mislead Armenian pages and users, giving the impression that they are made from Armenian sources or are Armenian pages.

Based on the above, the Human Rights Defender’s Office has compiled video evidence on a special principle, which confirms all the above and they will be sent to international bodies.

Moreover, all the atrocities and scenes of cruelty in those videos have to be presented by the Human Rights Defender without processing, as they are sent to the Armenian pages and users, so that our international partners can get an idea of the real situation.
