Incessant calls for violence and hatred: Government propaganda machine in operation

Calls for murder, violence and insults against the participants of the Tavush for the Homeland movement on social media do not stop. After the incident that took place on Demirchyan Street a few days ago and the official statements supporting the incident, similar calls and publications have not stopped on social media. These calls are often directed by some groups aiming to create a rift within society. Under the RA Constitution, persons who make calls motivated by hatred, intolerance or enmity based on racial, national, ethnic or social origin, religion, political or other views must be held criminally accountable. Calls to take the life of a person inspired by the same motives should also be subject to criminal liability under the Constitution, but as the lawyer says, in Armenia, this law is applied exclusively to the opposition and, moreover, illegally.
