At the Nakhicvevan airport, the Azeri leader was met by Vasif Talybov, Chairman of the Nakhichevan Majlis and Aliev’s immediate relative. President Aliev held a meeting with the local government members.

The Azeri leader is expected to issue necessary instructions to ensure a high turnout at the parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan on November 7 and “a decisive victory” of the candidates of the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan party.

Nakhichevan is the “ancestral lands” of the Aliev clan. International organizations report the worst human rights situation there in Azerbaijan.
