Caviar Diplomacy: How Azerbaijan silenced the Council of Europe
European Stability Initiative (ESI), 2012 · European Stability Initiative
Notes
Coined the term "caviar diplomacy". Documented systematic Azerbaijani corruption of PACE delegates through gifts, paid trips, and rapporteur capture. Triggered the multi-year scandal that culminated in the 2018 PACE independent investigation and the Volonte conviction.
