A storied American magazine has published a column by a "stealth lobbyist" for Azerbaijan calling on arch-enemy Armenia to shut off a major power supply.

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists did not disclose Brenda Shaffer's well-documented pecuniary ties with Azerbaijan in her March 5 essay arguing that Armenia should close its only nuclear power plant, the Soviet-era Metsamor near Yerevan. But regional media have reproduced the argument, while highlighting the gravitas of the Bulletin and ignoring the conflict of interest.
