Euroviews. Zamira Hajiyeva’s case shows the damage that can be done when English courts are at odds ǀ View
How does the English judicial system permit, on the one hand, an English so-called ‘McMafia’ order [...] to be made against Azerbaijani national, Zamira Hajiyeva, forcing her to reveal her wealth and how it was obtained, yet, on the other hand, deny Azerbaijan’s request for her extradition.

Euroviews. World leaders at the UN and student protests are not enough to confront the climate crisis ǀ View
Because of my position, no matter what I thought of leaders like George W Bush, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin or Ignacio Lula da Silva, I would never make a face like that of young climate activist Greta Thunberg when she saw President Trump passing near her at the UN.
