Time to punish Erdogan and Aliyev for their aggression against Armenia, the OCCRP Founder says
"It’s time to punish Erdogan and Aliyev for their aggression against Armenia. They should be sanctioned and their properties in the West confiscated," the Founder of the Organized crime and Corruption Reporting Program (OCCRP) Drew Sullivan tweeted.
In Sullivan's words, it’s pretty clear that 'autocratic Azerbaijan orchestrated the attack on democratic Armenia but I can understand that you are not getting real news so you are ignorant of what’s happening.'
"International corruption leads to instability as has been made clear with Azerbaijan and Turkey’s attack on Armenia. Aliyev and Erdogan both face bad economies and disgruntled populations and need the nationalist appeal and war to keep people inline. It won’t work long term," Drew Sullivan added.
To note, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), founded in 2006, is a consortium of investigative centers, media and journalists operating in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Central America. OCCRP is the only full-time investigative reporting organization that specializes in organized crime and corruption.
