Gular Akhmedova Case continues: New Video and New Blow to Image of Power

In exile, the former rector of the Azerbaijan International University (AIU) Elshad Abdullayev gave to the newspaper Azadlig a new video with MP Gular Akhmedova. This is a continuation of the previous conversation, where the parties traded on a price for the deputy chair, but there are a number of new sounds and scandalous statements by Gular Akhmedova. Abdullayev recalled that he gave Akhmedova 500 thousand dollars in the car near the TV channel ANS, but Akhmedova required another 500 thousand dollars. The video also revealed that Abdullayev still "worked" with Heydar Aliyev’s brother Agil Aliyev. But then he was prescribed to "work" with the head of the Presidential Administration Ramiz Mehdiyev.

"We have to do everything at the direction of Ramiz Muallim," says Akhmedova. Those who violate the agreement are punished, she says, citing the example of Deputies Algysh and Musa Musayev. "We elected Musa and Algysh, but then one began to work for Ali Insanov and another – for Hajibala."

Sevinj Babayeva, in the conversation, also gave her instructions: "You are being led to the parliament by Ramiz Muallim, and you have to work for him."

Akhmedova further clarified: "You have to decide from the beginning, whether to be with me or not. There is a group of Farhad Aliyev, and there are lists of Ali Insanov, Kamaladdin, Ilham, Mehriban…"

In the letter to the editor of the newspaper Azadlig Elshad Abdullayev said that, while the prosecution and the investigation began, the Attorney General began to pursue people close to Abdullayev instead of investigating Akhmedova’s abuses. Abdullayev reiterated that he would not release these videos, if at the time there was established an independent commission of inquiry, as he had requested in his appeals to President Ilham Aliyev. -03B-
