Dear brothers and sisters scattered all over the world, hereby, I am presenting you a list of western companies doing business in Azerbaijan, securing a solid flow of financial resources, which are then used by the aggressor Aliev to kill more Armenians and to attack, invade and occupy the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia. I am receiving a lot of messages from our fellow Armenians asking how they can help and/or what should they do. Hence, this is my call for action, where you can exercise all your powers, connections, contacts and networks to put pressure on these companies and stop them pouring more money to Azerbaijan. This will be a unique way of imposing sanctions not by a certain state but by the whole Armenian Diaspora, which can be stronger than a single state and back its Armenian Statehood in this crucial time. The below list is not exhaustive and you are free to dig deeper and find others too. Doing business in Azerbaijan must become a shame for any company!
