Armenophobia in Azerbaijan has reached such an extent that for a easy stay in this country one needs only to accuse someone that he is either "Armenian" or has "pro-Armenian views." At the same time, no one needs any proof, you just have to blame a person to become the favorite of the power, reports the Azerbaijani newspaper "Yeni Musavat", referring to the topic of anti-Armenian state propaganda in Azerbaijan.

As noted in the article, Armenophobia in Azerbaijan has become a nation-wide exercise: a bad man there is simply called "Armenian".

The paper writes that if Azerbaijanis do not call one another "Armenian", then it means that they are afraid for their ties abroad, but that does not indicate that the person is supposedly tolerant or has digested the peaceful ideology or has advanced views. "Cases of no-Armenophobia are only a result of obligations towards the West. If a person will show hatred towards Armenians, the West would not cooperate with him," the newspaper concludes.

According to Azerbaijani media recently in articles and stories about Armenia and the Armenians published in the press the insulting speech, swearing and unflattering remarks is increasing. In early November, the head of the Examining Division, programming and analysts of the National Television and Radio Council of Azerbaijan Tavakkyul Dadashov in turn called on Azerbaijani media to continue using insulting speech in the articles about Armenia.
