A monument to the “national leader” of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliev will be set up in Astrakhan, Russia, this year. The State News Agency of Azerbaijan reports that a relevant statement was made during a visit paid to the Astrakhan region by a delegation of the Narimanov district of Baku.

Although the visit was paid on the occasion of the 140th birthday anniversary of Nariman Narimanov, the “father” of Soviet Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliev and his clan took the opportunity to promote the cult of the Aliev clan not only inside, but also outside Azerbaijan.
