Earlier, Minval Politika published a series of video recordings in which Luis Moreno Ocampo, former prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, and his associates effectively exposed themselves while discussing the anti-Azerbaijan campaign. These revelations lead to the conclusion that it is not about “values” and “principles,” but rather a systematic pressure mechanism built with the participation of the Armenian lobby, European politicians, and financial flows connected with Russian-Armenian business circles.
Ocampo openly talks about his connections in the European Parliament, mentions Josep Borrell's circle and Borrell himself, and without hesitation describes the mechanisms for influencing EU decisions — even the possibilities of pressuring the European Commission. In parallel, financial mechanisms are also revealed: initially, funds came from Armenian sources, and later a group of sponsors, mainly wealthy diaspora representatives from Russia, joined. According to our information, Samvel Karapetyan and Ruben Vardanyan are among them. The main principle is to operate through anonymity and closed schemes.
In addition, individual episodes also indicate interference in Armenia's internal processes — even to the discussion of scenarios for regime change. As a result, we are faced not only with lobbying but with a multi-level — media, political, and financial — operation aimed against Baku and undermining regional stability.
Last week, the editorial board of Minval Politika sent official inquiries to European structures, including the European Parliament, to clarify Luis Ocampo's possible connections with European institutions and Josep Borrell's circle, as well as to inquire about any investigations into possible lobbying, conflicts of interest, and corruption risks reflected in the videos. It was also asked whether the European Parliament was ready to launch an official investigation. Enough time has passed — there is no answer. The editorial board of Minval Politika unequivocally interprets this demonstrative silence: in Brussels, they understand the essence of the matter well, but deem it necessary not to comment.
The same European structures that usually react immediately to any information related to Azerbaijan have this time taken a wait-and-see approach. But we will send a repeated inquiry — either we will try to get some official reaction, or we will once again prove that they have no words to say.
Modern.az reports that today Minval Politika presents new video footage that once again completely unmasks Ocampo:
Luis Moreno Ocampo: “...for me, the next step is to see how I can organize this on a platform that will use artificial intelligence to do it in the proper way. So, I'm working with the University of São Paulo, in the Physics department, on a project related to artificial intelligence. And now I spent some time with some friends in Spain who have connections with such companies. We were discussing the Armenian project as a pilot project of a company using artificial intelligence.”
Luis Moreno Ocampo: “If we're going to talk about this... this is something completely different. I don't want to scare you, but I'm involved in a lot of work. I'm also a professor at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. I'm working with a physicist, [...] in the field of physics. We are mainly using modern physics... and artificial intelligence to model and try to organize global order and global disorder. So, Brazil is funding this. We have supercomputers working on it. At first, we focused well, at the beginning we said, “let's work on global order in general.” Then we said, “no, this is too complicated, let's deal with genocide.” And then we said, “let's deal with Nagorno-Karabakh,” because I have a lot of information. We are working on Nagorno-Karabakh. Now I see this as an academic product, this is an academic project, and I must make the most of it. So, I'm trying to build a company that transcends borders, that transforms the information we produce here into a form that reaches politicians, decision-makers. To be more visible, it must reach mainstream media, social media. It must also reach other academics to be solid, well-founded.”
Interlocutor: “But you are developing a program that uses artificial intelligence?”
Luis Moreno Ocampo: “Yes, yes.”
Interlocutor: “Because there are programs, think tanks that come together to advise decision-makers. These have existed for a long time.”
Luis Moreno Ocampo: “Yes, yes.”
In the recordings at our disposal, he no longer hides that he is trying to take his activities to a new stage — using artificial intelligence. It is about creating an influence infrastructure where an “academic project” is transformed into a tool of pressure on politicians, media, and international institutions.
Ocampo talks about cooperation with the University of São Paulo, the use of supercomputers, and attempts to model “global order” through artificial intelligence. But more importantly, he directly points to Karabakh as one of the main directions and evaluates it as a “product from which maximum benefit should be obtained.”
He then talks about the creation of a transnational company aimed at transforming “produced information” into a tool of influence for decision-makers — to promote the necessary narratives through media, social networks, and expert circles.
In fact, it is about an attempt to industrialize information and political attacks — to give them a “scientific” guise and scale them through technologies.
Moreover, Ocampo himself openly states that the system he created is not an abstract theory, but a concrete tool. This program serves to direct anti-Azerbaijan campaigns related to the Karabakh issue directly to decision-makers, international structures, and academic circles through specially created platforms, to form the necessary agenda and consolidate it as an “expert opinion.” Essentially, a large-scale influence mechanism is being launched against Baku, using deepfakes and other technological manipulation tools.
In other words, it is no longer just about a lobbyist, but about a hybrid operation that openly explains how pressure against states is built and scaled — from social networks to the offices of European officials.
