The Azerbaijani Elections for Presidency and the Aftermath Developments
The Azerbaijani elections in October 15th, 2003, were of great importance not only for the country and the region, but also for all Eurasia. According to "official results", Azerbaijani people voted with great majority for İlham Aliyev, son of Haydar Aliyev, who had governed the country for 10 years between 1993-2003. This was commented as a fiasco for democratisation hopes in the region, and became a negative sample for potential cases in central Asia, where current old leaders are actually busy with paving the ways of power for their sons.<
