Turkish media shared a video showing Turkish special forces escorting two persons extradited from Armenia the day before.

Earlier, the Armenian Foreign Ministry reported on the extradition of two individuals who were involved in organized crime in Turkey.

Turkish media report that the extradited are Ercan Yılmaz, the head of the organized crime group, and Ibrahim Kaymak, a member of the organization. Yılmaz has been wanted in Turkey for 15 years and has been on an international wanted list for the past 14 years. Kaymak has been wanted by Turkish authorities for 6 years and was listed in the Interpol database a year ago. Yerevan extradited them to Turkey in response to a request from Interpol under its Red Notice.

OxFam’s research adds weight to a warning by outgoing President Joe Biden last week of a “dangerous concentration of power in the hands of very few ultra-wealthy people.” The group’s sharp-edged report, titled “Takers Not Makers,” also says the number of people in poverty has barely budged since 1990.

The World Economic Forum expects to host some 3,000 attendees, including business executives, academics, government officials, and civic group leaders at its annual meeting in the Alpine village of Davos.
