presidential throne?
13:11 • 03.12.10
In US diplomatic cables newly released by Wikileaks, Aliyev clan’s rule over Azerbaijan is compared to mafia, specifically to the Corleones family in the famous ‘Godfather’ movie series. Ilham Aliyev himself ‘described alternately as a mix of "Michael" and “Sonny.
Maintaining a clever, realistic foreign policy" that he inherited from his father, he reminds of the cold-calculated alliance builder Michael Corleone. But his domestic policies, with crude retaliation against even minor challenges to his authority and criticism, resemble the "brash, impulsive" Sonny Corleone.
The cables also say that Azerbaijani president's ambitions to make the Aliyev dynasty unchallenged strangled the hopes of any and all pretenders to succession, including his wife Mehriban Aliyeva.
