The name of Ramiz Mehdiyev, former head of the Presidential Administration, ex-president of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, academician, remains on the agenda. After the academician, who attempted to seize state power, was exposed, the scientists and deputies he once promoted, appointed, and gathered around him are now at the forefront of those speaking against him.
The 87-year-old Mehdiyev, whose career has been shaken, probably did not expect this...
Who were complicit with Ramiz Mehdiyev, formerly known as the “Grey Cardinal” and now as the “elder of the 5th column,” in the crime of treason against the state?
The public eagerly awaits the conclusion of the current processes - the day the investigation will be finalized...
Considering Ramiz Mehdiyev's name being on the agenda, the Modern.az website presents an interesting photo related to him in the “History of a Photo” section.
There are many prominent figures in the photo that draw attention.
Time: late 90s... Location: the former Montin Culture and Recreation Park in Baku's Narimanov district....
Officials gathered for the unveiling ceremony of the bust of National Hero Samir Khasiyev.
Two of those depicted in the photo have been more frequently in the spotlight recently... We are talking about Ramiz Mehdiyev and Najmaddin Sadikov... That was a time when Mehdiyev's influence was absolute... And so was Najmaddin Sadikov's... One held sway in politics, the other in the Armed Forces... Both indirectly influenced processes by remaining in the shadows, directing events according to their own interests...
We cannot say whether Ramiz Mehdiyev standing side-by-side with Najmaddin Sadikov in the photo is a coincidence or stems from the closeness of their relationship... In any case, it is a noteworthy point...
Academician Ramiz Mehdiyev served as the head of the Presidential Administration from 1995 to 2019.
Colonel-General Najmaddin Sadikov served as the First Deputy Minister of Defense - Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces from 1993 to 2021.
