3. Günel Melikova, in her column titled “Baku Massacre”, associates Armenian identity with massacre and violence as we see in the following sentences: “It’s been more than a century since the Azerbaijani genocide carried out by Armenians”, “For centuries, Armenians carried out a planned war policy for implementing their disgusting ideas” and “Benefiting from the opportunity they got, Armenians slaughtered thousands of innocent people including children, elderly and women, and destroyed a large part of Baku by vastly damaging Azerbaijani people’s national treasures”. Thus, the columnist foments the perception of enmity against Armenians.
