Ramiz Mehdiyev, former head of the Presidential Administration and one of the key figures of the Azerbaijani government for many years, is accused of a serious crime.
Until recent years, Ramiz Mehdiyev was one of the main decision-makers in state governance, high-level appointments, and parliamentary elections.
Today, Ramiz Mehdiyev's criminal prosecution has turned even those who once praised him against him.
However, there were also individuals within the government who openly fought against Ramiz Mehdiyev at the time.
Modern.az website has attempted to identify these individuals:
These include former Milli Majlis member Fəzail Ağamalı, former head of Naftalan city executive power Musa Musayev, ex-deputy Sabir Rüstəmxanlı, former minister Siruz Təbrizli and editor-in-chief of "Yeni Azərbaycan" newspaper Alqış Musayev.
The individuals mentioned above, at a time when Ramiz Mehdiyev's influence was absolute, fearlessly voiced harsh statements about him and, due to these stances, incurred Mehdiyev's wrath.
Siruz Təbrizli - Renowned politician, former member of parliament, ex-minister
Musa Musayev - Former deputy and former head of executive power
Sabir Rüstəmxanlı - Former member of parliament, Chairman of the Civic Solidarity Party
