Expert on Azerbaijani studies reports harassment and personal threats  from an unknown individual

ArmInfo.Tatevik Hayrapetyan, an expert on Azerbaijani studies, has reported  harassment and personal threats from an unknown individual. In a  public statement on her Facebook page, she formally appeals to the  National Security Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the  Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Armenia.

Hayrapetyan stated that the harassment has been ongoing for an  extended period but intensifies following her public interviews and  media appearances. She said the attacks began on Facebook and have  recently continued offline.

According to Hayrapetyan, the individual frequently appears in her  yard, even in the evenings, texts her, tries to follow her, and makes  erratic physical movements, to provoke fear and  intimidation.

Hayrapetyan emphasized that the individual is exerting severe  psychological pressure on her and her family, accompanied by threats  of physical violence. She attached a video and several screenshots of  his posts and comments, which he quickly deletes a few hours after  posting, effectively covering his tracks.

The expert believes that such harassment is clearly related to her  public and social activities. "It's no secret that I actively  criticize the current government and its policies in the public  sphere, and I also highlight threats emanating from Azerbaijan and  expose programs developed at the state level in Azerbaijan to inform  our society. I am confident that, using his license plate number and  appearance, you will be able to quickly identify this individual and  find out why and under what circumstances he began harassing and  threatening me—first on social media, and now in real life—physically  and psychologically," she said.
