    Ms Caruana Galizia, are you putting together pictures of next year’s runners up for the Gieh ir-Repubblika award perhaps?

    With friends like these….

    ”Flush with oil and gas revenues, Azerbaijan’s living standards have risen considerably in the last decade.”

    ”But material progress has come at a cost: rigged elections and suppression of internal dissent mean that Azerbaijan’s democracy is little more than a sham.”

    ”Dozens of youth activists have been imprisoned since January, supposedly for illegal arms possession and plotting mass disorder. Last month eight of them went on a two-week hunger strike and the authorities also detained two prominent human rights defenders on bogus espionage charges.”

    ”And despite its claims of recent success in fighting graft, Azerbaijan (alongside Russia) remains the most corrupt country in the CoE, according to Transparency International, a watchdog. That is no coincidence. As Azerbaijanis know all too well, corruption and political repression go hand in hand.”

    This is precious – almost as good as Mintoff/KMB and Kim Il Sung.

    Are they planning on giving this man ‘Gieh ir-Repubblika’ by any chance?

    fter all they did give it to Gaddafi AND Kim Il Sung AND Nicolai Ceaucescu.
