pink_panther_day_2018

On May 18, 2018 the world for the fourth time will celebrate the Pink Panther Day — a holiday of creative people, established in the Kingdom of Love.

Since the friends of the Pink Panther live in different countries, on this day in the official holiday group in Facebook will start the traditional Pink Expo — 2018, uniting the creative people from all over the world.

Pink Expo — 2018 is an international exhibition of unusual goods and services online, which starts on May 18 and will last for 18 days. The word «pink», according to the founders of the holiday, means not only color, but also non-standard thinking and creativity. That’s why at the exhibition it is not so important binding  to the color scheme rather than to creative idea and a message.

Participants can join the Pink Expo both at the start and during the period of the exhibition. The prerequisite for participation is the provision of discounts for goods and services to the site visitors from 18% or higher for the entire duration of the Pink Expo — 2018, as well as a description of the unique history of art objects in Russian or English. Each participant can exhibit up to 18 positions.

The Pink Expo — 2018 offers the opportunity for the exhibitors to present not only art objects, but also their ideas of a creative transformation of the world and find like-minded people, sponsors or investors. Poetry, songs, videos, master classes and other creations are also considered.

Participation in the event is free of charge. Exhibited art objects, goods and services are coordinated with the organizers.

The government of Azerbaijan in exile

sevgi_partiyasi

On April 11, 2018 a criminal offense — forcible seizure of power in Azerbaijan — was committed in front of the whole world.

Today, on April 17, 2018, despite a complaint to the Prosecutor General’s Office and two lawsuits to the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the court approved the election of Ilham Aliyev, officially recognized by the French court as dictator, the president of Azerbaijan for a new term.

Both citizens of the Azerbaijan Republic and tens of millions of Azerbaijanis of the world are victims of this crime, in which the Constitutional Court became an accomplice.

The inaction of the Constitutional Court with regard to complaints of violation of the rule of law in the Republic of Azerbaijan, coupled with the inactivity of other judicial bodies and state organizations, which for many years refused to rule on cases unsuitable for the government, gives grounds to recognize the Republic of Azerbaijan as a failed state.

In the current situation,  I announce the establishment of the Azerbaijani government in exile. The new structure will operate under my leadership and under the aegis of the «Party of Love» (Sevgi Partiyasi) in Jerusalem. The program of our actions will be announced soon.

With love,

Milana Gorenstein (Ustinova)

Lawyer & investigative journalist
Candidate for the President of Azerbaijan (2013, 2018)

The seizure of power takes place in Azerbaijan

123

On April 11, 2018, the so-called «presidential elections» are held in the Republic of Azerbaijan.

In fact, on April 11 the Azerbaijani authorities committed  criminal actions aimed at forcible seizure of power in violation of the Constitution, with direct or indirect complicity of a large number of international observers and the world’s leading media.

The presidential candidate of Azerbaijan, Milana Gorenstein (Ustinova), appealed to the Prosecutor General of Azerbaijan Zakir Garalov in relation to the criminal offenses committed by the leaders of the CEC of Azerbaijan during the period from 2013 to 2018. A lawsuit was filed with the Constitutional Court of the Azerbaijan Republic demanding holding scheduled elections, withdrawing the candidature of Ilham Aliyev and bringing him to justice.

The CEC of Azerbaijan did not register the candidacy of Ms. Gorenstein, and  there was no official refusal or explanation of the reasons. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, to which the application was sent to visit Nagorno-Karabakh for professional activities, did not respond to the official request of Ms. Gorenstein. The General Prosecutor’s Office and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan also showed inaction regarding the applications  and enabled the crime of seizure of power in Azerbaijan.

The leading international observers and the media, as well as local and international organizations conducting exit polls («Opinion Way» — France, «Arthur Finkelstein Association» — USA, Independent Research Center «Els» — Azerbaijan) were informed in writing and verbally  of the impending crime. Some observers (missions of the CIS Executive Committee and OSCE / ODIHR) received full access to documents sent to the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Constitutional Court of Azerbaijan. The legal situation prevailing in Azerbaijan was also discussed with the leaders of the Venice Commission. The materials  of the case are provided to the Secretariat of human rights organization “Amnesty International”.

Milana Gorenstein (Ustinova) is running in the presidential elections in Azerbaijan for the second time. After the elections in 2013, due to the refusal of all judicial instances of Azerbaijan, including the Supreme Court, lawsuits against the crimes committed by the leadership of the CEC were brought to the ECHR (France). The ECHR judge Julia Laffranque refused to consider the case of falsification of elections in Azerbaijan without any explanation. The PACE President Anne Brasseur received a complaint about the problems in ECHR and a full copy of the case materials, but she also decided to remain silent. Europol experts, who monitor transnational crimes, recommended starting an investigation into the above facts.

In 2018, Ilham Aliyev, expecting the recurrence of the 2013 scenario and new lawsuits in the ECHR regarding elections falsification, decided to strengthen his positions by expanding the powers of the judge from Azerbaijan to the ECHR Latif Huseynov. However, the authorities’ crimes went beyond the scope of the ECHR: in 2017 the French court officially recognized Ilham Aliyev as dictator.

When laws cease to work in the state, the state itself ceases to exist in the declared legal format. Ilham Aliyev led the Republic of Azerbaijan to the condition of failed state.

Milana Gorenstein (Ustinova) after consultation with the Secretariat prepared a statement of claim to the Prosecutor’s Office of the International Criminal Court in Hague. Despite the fact that Azerbaijan has not ratified the Rome Statute, there are mechanisms in international law to hold accountable the main executors and all accomplices for multiple crimes (seizure of power, juridical genocide,  extreme international corruption, transnational crimes, state terror, political prisoners, violations of international humanitarian law, etc.)

According to official sources, 894 international and 58,175 local observers were involved in the process of illegal seizure of power in Azerbaijan, as well as 150 journalists representing the world’s leading media: “The Washington Times”, “The Hill”, “The Jerusalem Post”, , «The Times of Israel», «Daily Caller», «Muslim World Today», «The Algemeiner», «Independent Journal Review», «RAİ» TV, «New Europe», «Al Jazeera», ORT, RTR, “Russia Today”, “The Daily Times”, TRT World, and others.

Usurpation of power in the State of Israel by the Police forces

 Attn: Gilad Erdan
Minister of Public Security

Subject: Usurpation of power in the State of Israel by the Police forces

Dear Mr. Erdan!

My name is Milana Gorenstein, I am an international lawyer and a journalist from Jerusalem.

On June 1st 2016 I’ve sent to your office many documents showing the inactivity of the police in relation to investigations of crimes of top rank politicians and a letter to you, singed by me personally, in which I explained the severity of the situation and a need to establish a new security system in Israel in a form of private police.

I have called your office afterwards and asked to arrange a meeting with you, but your secretaries said there were no signed letter in the package of documents (no direct communication with the Minister), and, therefore, this is the reason why they will not arrange a meeting. I’ve faxed my letter again (confirmed) and was said to wait until the Public Complaints department will check my case.

In the meantime I turned to the Israel Post Couriers Service (Doar Shlihim) and asked to investigate under what circumstances my signed letter disappeared from the package of the documents you received. Please find their answer attached, confirming the receipt of the package undamaged by the workers of your Ministry. Therefore, the responsibility on this case in on workers of your Ministry, and I have many questions in relation to this incident…

To remind you, I received personal threats to myself and my family and event attacked personally during the international event on February, 2016, and my complaints to the police (as well as the attached confirming documents) were ignored and the cases were closed without investigation.

My new complaint to the Police against top rank politicians were closed the next day after investigation, and the Public Complaints department was informed about this.

I continue to live and work in Jerusalem, but my personal security and the security of my family is at risk, and no organization in the State of Israel offers me any protection.

The Public Complaints department representative Revital Ovadia Gispan doesn’t have explanation on why I didn’t receive any clear answer so far regarding the consistent life threats and personal attacks in front of TV cameras, and why these facts are not considered criminal cases in Israel (why the Police tries to establish their own laws at the Police Stations instead of laws of the State of Israel?) Death threats are often designed to intimidate victims in order to manipulate their behavior, but I am not the right person for this form of pressure…

In most world jurisdictions, death threats are a criminal offense. The fact that the Israel Police disregards this fact and create new criminal laws at the police stations means that the police officers committed the crime of usurpation of power in the State of Israel on behalf of high rank politicians, whom they try to protect.

I applied to all relevant organizations in Israel seeking for personal security (including your Ministry), with no result.  In case I will be attacked again (or killed), it will be the assassination for political reasons. My life and security, as well as those of my family members, are not protected, and you, Mr. Erdan, are holding personal responsibility or any incident that may happen to me and my family — today and in the future.

Taking all the mentioned into consideration, as well as the fact that 40 days (according to law) already passed and there were no result from my complaint to the Ministry of Public Security, I consider for my protection to turn to media, revealing all the facts to general public, and also seek political asylum in the third country (preferably, the United States of America, since I arrived to Israel from there). In this case all the above mentioned facts immediately become a subject of international investigation.

Today, on August 25th 2016, I start the official campaign on creation of Royal Security Forces — a new public organization that will control the implementation of laws in the State of Israel and offer the highest level of security to all citizens of the country.

I invite you to arrange a meeting with me to discuss all the problems described above  and try to find solutions to minimize the harm from this situation to the interests of the State of Israel and the people of Israel.

Kind regards,

Milana Gorenstein, LL.B
