From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heydər Əlirza oğlu Əliyev (often transliterated Heydar Alirza oglu Aliyev; sometimes Heidar Aliev or Geidar Aliev from the Russian Гейдар Алиев, May 10, 1923[1] – December 12, 2003) served as president of Azerbaijan for the New Azerbaijan Party from June 1993 to October 2003, when his son İlham Əliyev succeeded him. Əliyev dominated the political life of Azerbaijan for over 30 years, but left his oil-rich country with a problematic legacy of gross corruption. He was married to Zərifə Əziz qızı Əliyeva, who died in 1985, and was survived by his son and daughter.
