"Azerbaijan Set to Sign New Deal With BP on ACG Oilfields-Agency

BAKU — Azerbaijan plans to sign a new contract with BP in the coming days on development of the giant Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) oilfields until 2050, Azertag news agency on Wednesday quoted Azeri President Ilham Aliyev as saying.

The fields are the largest oilfields in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian basin.

An existing deal is due to expire in 2024 and a BP-led consortium and Azeri state oil firm SOCAR signed a letter of intent in December to continue development of the giant offshore fields until 2050.

Nationwide map of Syria (September 5, 2017), Deir Ezzor siege lifted

BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:45 P.M.) – The month of September has started off well for the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and other forces aligned to it in the war against the Islamic State terrorist group.

Today, the Syrian Army officially lifted the siege on pro-government forces and civilians inside the strategic city of Deir Ezzor after three years of them being isolated far behind ISIS lines.

The Syrian Army’s elite Tiger Forces and the 17th Reserve Division advanced along a strategic back-road running south from Resafa (in the Tabaqa region) to reach the 137th Brigade Base on the western outskirts of the city.

At least one or two ISIS counter-offensives aimed at reimposing the siege can be expected and may, possibly, temporarily succeed. Any chances of re-besieging the city for an extended period of time is highly unlikely.

Despite reports yesterday and this morning that the town of Ash-Shula (about thirty kilometers west of Deir Ezzor city) was liberated, the reality stands that the town has still not been entered into by pro-government forces (even the latest Hezbollah map shows this). In any case, the Syrian Army units advancing along the M20 highway are at the western outskirts of the town and the Tiger Forces are close to it from the north.

Finally, it can be clarified (as this map shows) that all ISIS gains in southeast Raqqa Governorate were reversed by the Syrian Army who have re-secured key settlements like Ghanim al-Ali and Abu Hammad. Pro-government forces currently stand just a few villages short of the strategic Euphrates-based town of Ma’adan.

The rumor that ISIS retook Ghanim al-Ali for a second time in one week and pushed government forces north along the Euphrates all the way beyond Subkha village was started by a pro-ISIS social media account that poses as being pro-Iraqi Ba’athist.

There is a conspiracy between British Intelligence, a rich Hungarian Jew,

Check his bio. He come from the British school of enslaving people. When you start making sense of the world power/money and control you will see they all lead to Britain with Shekelists fronts.
During Yeltsin time where did the Russian Shekelists got their initial $ to buy all of Russia's natural resources? When Russians tried to regain their country where did all the same shekelsists took refuge? The same scenario goes for 300 years since the start of Shekelists money people moved from Germany to London. Not a coincidence it was the Brits that establish the state of shekelistan in the ME. It is alwaythe same scenario ... The front man is a money man with humanitarian flags to open door to control backed by Brits.

They are the same garbage. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. They both are playing their games and burning each other. I am enjoying the sight.
The question is why now and what are their objectives with the timing. A desperation to reach Iran from the north? Not much of a British objective. More like oil monopoly that might be threatened with Russia? Who knows what goes in their background dealings.

George Soros is a target for NeoCons and Conservatives largely because he finances open government NGOs and is pro-EU. The reason he is a target is because his NGOs keep exposing corruption from Hungary, to Azerbaijan, to Russia. The conspiracy theories surrounding him are more exaggerated than anything.

I mean look at what the Azeris are saying. There is a conspiracy between British Intelligence, a rich Hungarian Jew, the Armenian Diaspora in the US, and martians from Mars. Really. What kind of conspiracy? To simply exposing the truth? Give me a break, man.

What money? Still haven't seen the receipt of that $33bln they say they have.

I am sure they have some, maybe not in the $33 bn. Most is invested in fixed tangible assets that are "managed" from Britain.

I can imagine aliyev turning red and fuming. "I want all my state oil fund withdrawn from Britain and their institutions"

"Azerbaijan hits back over 'scandalous' money laundering claims

Azerbaijan’s deputy president, Ali Hasanov, said the stories by the Guardian and other media partners were a smear. In the first official reaction from Baku, Hasanov said the regime was the victim of a “scandalous” campaign organised by British intelligence, the Armenian diaspora and the US.


“When did the Guardian write about the truth about Azerbaijan? This newspaper has been known for decades for being against Azerbaijan,” Hasanov told the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet. The reports were “biased, groundless and provocative,” he said.

On Tuesday, the authorities blocked access from inside Azerbaijan to the website of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). The OCCRP published details of the scheme, nicknamed the Azerbaijani Laundromat, following a leak of data to the Danish newspaper Berlingske.
