Amid brazen online threats targeting Azerbaijanis in the US, police should investigate and locals should stay alert, said Azerbaijan’s Consulate in Los Angeles, California.

On Facebook late Thursday, the consulate decried these threats, taking place just after an assault by Armenians on peaceful Azerbaijani and Turkish demonstrators, and urged the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI to take action.

Some of the online threats cited by the consulate, such as the “armo_bountyhunters” Instagram account with an Armenian flag, offered Bitcoin payments for information on the whereabouts of local Azerbaijanis and Turks. One Armenian Facebook user praised Tuesday’s assault on peaceful Azerbaijani protestors, saying: "Death toll of Aziks will rise soon in LA. Good job brothers!!!"
