Minval Politika has released new footage it says shows former International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo discussing alleged contacts with Armenia’s foreign minister and campaigns linked to Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The latest material adds another political layer to earlier claims made by the outlet about an alleged pressure campaign against Azerbaijan involving lobbying networks, European political figures, funding channels and artificial intelligence-linked projects.
In the new footage, Ocampo allegedly says he had an “arrangement” not directly with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, but with Armenia’s foreign minister. He says the arrangement concerned efforts to “free Armenians” and “protect Nagorno-Karabakh,” while adding that they would not interfere in Armenia’s internal affairs.
Ocampo also allegedly says Armenian officials saw outside pressure as useful because they could not be aggressive in negotiations with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
The footage also includes remarks about Armenia’s internal political tensions. Ocampo allegedly refers to tensions between Pashinyan’s government and Armenian church figures, including the jailing of bishops and accusations that some church figures were working for Russia.
Minval Politika presents the remarks as raising questions about possible contacts between Ocampo and figures close to Armenia’s leadership. The outlet specifically points to Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, arguing that the alleged contact creates uncertainty over Yerevan’s public peace messaging and its possible role in campaigns against Azerbaijan.
The outlet also links the latest footage to earlier material involving Ocampo’s son, Tomas Moreno Ocampo, who allegedly discussed Armenia’s political situation and the possible removal of Pashinyan.
Minval Politika argues that the new footage raises a central question: whether the alleged campaign was being carried out without the knowledge of Armenia’s leadership, or whether elements of it were part of a broader strategy involving Armenian political circles.
The report also touches on the issue of religious sites in Garabagh. Minval Politika says the footage helps explain recent campaigns abroad over buildings demolished by Azerbaijan in Garabagh, which Armenian lobby groups have described as ancient churches.
Azerbaijan has previously said that structures built illegally during the period of occupation do not have protected cultural status, while ancient Christian monuments in the country are protected and restored.
Minval Politika argues that the religious heritage issue has been used as part of a wider information and political campaign against Azerbaijan. It claims Ocampo and connected figures helped coordinate narratives around Christian heritage, including through religious figures abroad.
The new report follows earlier Minval Politika publications alleging that Ocampo discussed pressure on Azerbaijan through European institutions, including the European Parliament and pressure on the European Commission. The outlet also previously linked the alleged campaign to Josep Borrell’s circle, Armenian lobbying networks, and businessmen of Armenian origin with ties to Russia, including Samvel Karapetyan and Ruben Vardanyan.
In another previous report, Minval Politika said Ocampo discussed artificial intelligence, supercomputers in Brazil and an academic project involving “Nagorno-Karabakh”, which the outlet presented as part of a broader influence mechanism.
Minval Politika says the videos are authentic and were not altered by artificial intelligence.
AnewZ has not independently verified the footage or the claims.
For now, the latest material moves the story into a more sensitive political space.
The question is no longer only whether external lobbying was used against Azerbaijan.
It is also whether figures around Armenia’s leadership had contact with those allegedly involved, and what that means for the peace process.
