Former Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev also led Azerbaijan for 14 years during the Soviet era. What he said once again proves that: 1) Russian leaders have always helped Nagorno-Karabakh remain under Azerbaijani rule. 2) The Azerbaijani authorities have always created fabricated problems for the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh. Also Talysh population in Azerbaijan had similar tragedy and Moscow always helped to Azerbaijan. But Armenians were lucky, because they have their government and strong lobby in Europe, Russia and USA.

PANHANDLING SCHEME EXPOSED! I investigated two women in Mississauga who were begging for money and claimed to be from Eastern Europe. At the end of their “shift,” they were picked up in an alleyway by a man with a van. The next morning, they were dropped off at the same spot.

JUST IN: Three officials for electronic voting technology company Smartmatic have been indicted by a federal grand jury for a bribery and money laundering scheme. The DOJ named Roger Alejandro Piñate Martinez, Elie Moreno, and Jose Miguel Vaque in the indictment. The men allegedly facilitated at least $1M in bribes to be paid to former Comelec (Commission on Elections) Chairperson Andy Bautista. The bribes were used to obtain business related to providing voting machines in the Philippine elections. Roger Piñate (photo below) is the president of Smartmatic. DOJ report: According to the indictment, between 2015 and 2018, Roger Alejandro Pinate Martinez, 49, a Venezuelan citizen and resident of Boca Raton, Florida, and Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 62, a U.S. citizen and resident of Davie, Florida, together with others, allegedly caused at least $1 million in bribes to be paid to Juan Andres Donato Bautista, 60, the former Chairman of COMELEC. These bribes were allegedly paid to obtain and retain business related to providing voting machines and election services for the 2016 Philippine elections and to secure payments on the contracts, including the release of value added tax payments. The co-conspirators allegedly funded the bribes through a slush fund that was created by over-invoicing the cost per voting machine for the 2016 Philippine elections. To conceal and disguise the nature and purpose of the corrupt payments, the co-conspirators used coded language to refer to the slush fund and caused the creation of fraudulent contracts and sham loan agreements to justify transfers. The co-conspirators then allegedly laundered funds related to the bribery scheme through bank accounts located in Asia, Europe, and the United States, including in the Southern District of Florida.

Import substitution, Russian-style. In the Smolensk region, authorities uncovered a production site of counterfeit Coca-Cola, which was bottled in unsanitary conditions and shipped for sale to Moscow. According to police, the scheme was organized by a former director of a bankrupt factory. To conceal the drink’s origin, the labels listed other countries - Georgia, Azerbaijan, or Belarus.

Azerbaijan accuses the FSB, the Russian internal affairs ministry, and the Russian National Guard of torturing and killing Azerbaijani citizens. The Azerbaijani Prosecutor General's Office reported that during a raid on June 27 in the Sverdlovsk region, they detained Azerbaijani citizens and persons of Azerbaijani nationality. They "were practically helpless and unable to defend themselves from the blows" and were also "subjected to torture and serious bodily harm." "As a result, at around 3 PM on the same day, Guseyn Safarov, a citizen of the Republic of Azerbaijan, born in 1966, aged 60, who was engaged in small business, was deliberately killed in the administrative building of the Internal Affairs Department in Yekaterinburg, and his brother, Ziyaddin Safarov, born in 1970, aged 55, father of two children, who worked as a taxi driver, was killed in the morning in his service vehicle," the press service reported. ◾️ According to the forensic medical examination report, Guseyn Safarov died of post-traumatic and post-hemorrhagic shock caused by multiple injuries. His brother, Ziyaddin Safarov, died as a result of post-traumatic shock, also caused by multiple injuries. In addition, it was established that other Azerbaijani citizens also suffered bodily injuries of varying degrees of severity. ◾️ The Russian Investigative Committee claims that one of the Azerbaijanis detained in Yekaterinburg died of heart failure, while the circumstances surrounding the death of the second are being investigated. On the evening of June 30, the bodies of the two deceased Azerbaijanis were transported from Yekaterinburg to Baku, and today they were buried in Azerbaijan's Aghjabadi District. ◾️ As a result of an operation at the Sputnik Azerbaijan office in Baku, seven people were detained on charges of fraud, illegal entrepreneurship, and money laundering, according to the Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs. Meanwhile, Peskov, Putin's press secretary, stated that the Kremlin is "paying close attention to information" about the detention of Sputnik Azerbaijan and Ruptly employees. Moscow hopes to secure their release.

From the very beginning of war in Israel, from the moment of those horrible murders, common citizens of Azerbaijan started bringing flowers to the Embassy of Israel to show support to our people, to Israel. They are bringing flowers, flags, toys… Toys, because our children were slaughtered… I want to thank our Azerbaijani brothers and sisters, myself and on behalf of all Jews in Azerbaijan, thank them for this incredible deed. Azerbaijani people also suffered horrible times in their history. Jews of Azerbaijan remember very well the Khojali massacre that happened 30 years ago. Three days ago, the Jewish people went through the tragic event very similar to Khojali slaughter. I want to emphasize that for us, Jews of Azerbaijan, there was no doubt, that we would receive warm support from Azerbaijani people. THANK YOU!
