Azerbaijani scholar Tatevik Hayrapetyan's telegram post:
"As the fabricated "trials" against the military-political leadership of Artsakh and our compatriots are being resumed in Baku today, I would like to present in a few points what goals and tools, in my opinion, Baku will try to apply in the near future, so that our society is even more prepared and alert. First of all, remember that this is directed against the Republic of Armenia, the official press of Azerbaijan has written about it in a very open text.
All this time, the Azerbaijani press, at the level of deputies and various other people, has been spreading a lot of hate speech about ethnic Armenians. The fact that they call the trial "Nuremberg" and our compatriots "fascists" is not accidental, it is done for the purpose of preaching hatred and enmity.
Along with that, the Azerbaijani propaganda press uses people considered to be Armenians with the last name "Yan", who continuously generate hate speech against the Armenians of Artsakh and our compatriots who are being held hostage in Baku from various online platforms. I don't know if they do it for money or under threats, but their words is widely used in the Azerbaijani press. Some are well known to the Armenian audience, so there is no need for me to name them.
This is important in the sense that this topic is manipulated by the Azerbaijani side in order to generate some dangerous sentiments within the Armenian community, in short, to use Armenians against Armenians.
Considering this circumstance, I do not rule out that in the near future, "witnesses" considered to be Armenians with the last name "Yan" may appear at those fabricated "trials" in exchange for pressure or money.
It will become a very powerful propaganda tool in the hands of Aliyev. Considering this, I urge our public not to give in to emotions, to understand that all this is part of the hybrid war being waged against us.
It is obvious that with these fake "trials" Aliyev has clearly set a goal to provoke a new wave of inter-ethnic hostility within the Azerbaijani society against Armenians.
A large part of our public naturally feels anger when they see the photos spread from the court in Baku. This whole process itself contradicts the fairy tales woven about peace.
Summarizing, let me repeat once again: a well-designed psychological, hybrid, informational war is being waged against the Armenian society and the Armenian state.
That is why it is necessary to treat the presented information as cold-heartedly as possible, filter it, understand its propaganda goals and not give in to them.
This is, of course, particularly difficult, because this war against our society is being waged not only by Azerbaijan, but also by the Armenian authorities themselves.
