THE GROWING IMPACT OF HATE CRIMES AGAINST THE AZERBAIJANI COMMUNITY SINCE JULY 12, 2020
Ever since the military attack of Armenian military forces against Azerbaijan on July 12, 2020, the numerous documented hate crime attacks against individuals of the Azerbaijani ethnicity, as well as their communities, have taken place in Los Angeles, Brussels, Toronto, London, Moscow, etc. The police departments of some of the aforementioned cities have launched hate crime investigations against the attackers of Armenian origin for willfully causing physical, psychological and emotional harm. Unfortunately, these hate crimes have caused severe safety concerns in Azerbaijani communities across the world.
Therefore, AWSC conducted this survey to find out how these hate crimes and incidents affect individuals of the Azerbaijani community. This survey consisted of two parts. Firstly, we asked the individuals to respond to questions regarding demographic information, such as their age, gender and their status in Canada. The second part consisted of direct questions regarding the impact of hate crimes and incidents. Overall, 131 (95.62%) adults aged 18 and above and 6 (4.38%) below the age of 18, participated in the survey. 125 (89.83%) of these participants live in Canada and 14 (10.07%), are not Canadian residents.

Malheureusement, ces crimes haineux ont causé de graves problèmes de sécurité dans les communautés Azerbaïdjanaises dans le monde entier.
Une brève enquête a été conçue pour cette étude communautaire afin de découvrir comment ces crimes et incidents de haine affectent les individus de la communauté Azerbaïdjanaise. Dans l'ensemble, 131 (95,62%) adultes de 18 ans et plus et 6 (4,38%) de moins de 18 ans ont participé à l'enquête. 125 (89,83%) de ces participants vivent au Canada et 14 (10,07%) ne sont pas des résidents canadiens.
