    K. AVAGYAN: AZERBAIJAN MUST PERFORM WILLPOWER TO STOP STATE-RUN ANTI-ARMENIAN PROPAGANDA

    "It's strange that the international community has appeared with such
    a late report over state-supported anti-Armenian propaganda being
    implemented in Azerbaijan, which has repeatedly stated by Armenia,"
    Republican MP Karen Avagyan told Panorama.am making remarks on Council
    of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission report on Azerbaijan.

    "The constant negative official and media discourse concerning
    the Republic of Armenia helps to sustain a negative climate of
    opinion regarding people of Armenian origin, who remain vulnerable
    to discrimination.

    There are also still reports of cases of discrimination towards persons
    of Armenian origin living in Azerbaijan and of insufficient awareness
    of the provisions prohibiting racist offences both within the criminal
    justice system and among the general public. Many sources also stress
    the widespread lack of confidence in the justice system," report reads.

    "I'm not quite optimistic with Azerbaijan changing their policy,
    but it's important the issue has been focused by the international
    communities. Azerbaijan must perform willpower to stop state-run
    anti-Armenian propaganda," official said.
