Tony Blair’s tips to a dictator on how to justify a massacre of unarmed civilians
by Robert Mendick
Tony Blair is paid £7 million a year to advise Kazakhstan’s ruler on how to prettify a regime that is notorious for abuses of human rights and killing unarmed protesters.
Kazakhstan president Nursultan Nazarbayev pays Tony Blair ‘£7 million a year for ‘advice’ on managing the image of a dictator who slaughters unarmed civilians protesting against his regime.
Tony Blair gave Kazakhstan’s autocratic president advice on how to manage his image after the slaughter of unarmed civilians protesting against his regime.
In a letter to Nursultan Nazarbayev, obtained by The Telegraph, Mr Blair told the Kazakh president that the deaths of 14 protesters “tragic though they were, should not obscure the enormous progress” his country had made.
Mr Blair, who is paid millions of pounds a year to give advice to Mr Nazarbayev, goes on to suggest key passages to insert into a speech the president was giving at the University of Cambridge, to defend the action.
Mr Blair is paid through his private consultancy, Tony Blair Associates (TBA), which he set up after leaving Downing Street in 2007. TBA is understood to deploy a number of consultants in key ministries in Kazakhstan.
