Chairman of the Youth Association of Azerbaijan's ruling party "Yeni Azerbaijan" (NAP) Aygun Aliyeva (@ Aliyeva_Aygun) voiced threats against the Armenians in the social network Twitter.

Replying on Twitter to the record of Onik Krikorian, the editor of the international community in the Caucasus “Global Voices Online” (@onewmphoto) which said, "Rubber bullets were used to disperse protesters in Azerbaijan", Aygun Aliyeva said: "We will use real bullets against you, Mr. Krikorian, do not worry."

Krikorian fixed the attention of the British Embassy in Azerbaijan on the fact that the Azerbaijani MP threatens the citizen of the United Kingdom, after which the British Embassy (@ukinazerbaijan) left the following comment: "Thanks for the information, Onik."

The other users, including the Azerbaijanis and Turks, expressed surprise over the incident, noting that the threat of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party contradict the rules of Twitter and talk about the incompetence of the deputy. One of the comment writers called Aliyev a racist.
