Ilham Aliyev's Special Anniversary Gift for his Wife Was her Appointment as Vice President- Washington Post
Mehriban-aliyeva.az
This year, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev offered his wife a special anniversary present — he appointed her first vice president, the Washington Post reports.
On Tuesday, Aliyev announced that Mehriban Aliyeva, 52, would step into a role created last fall by constitutional referendum. In that position, she will succeed her husband if he steps down. She will also likely oversee the country's cabinet. (The constitutional amendments approved in the referendum also stretched the presidential term from five to seven years, after a 2009 referendum abolished term-limits in the former Soviet republic. And they ditched the age requirement for president, paving the way for the Aliyevs' 19-year-old son to run.)
