ILHAM ALIYEV APPOINTED AZERI PRIME MINISTER

Today Azeri president’s son and first vice-president of the State Oil Company of the republic Ilham Aliyev has been appointed the prime minister of the country at the special parliamentary sitting. As reported by Azeri sources, his candidature was unanimously backed at the sitting that was held with no representatives of the opposition present. At the same time Azeri Milli Mejlis accepted former government head Artur Rasizade’s resignation, who according to some data put in a corresponding application 2 weeks before. It should be noted that due to the Azerbaijan’s Constitution, in case the country leader is incapable of discharging his responsibilities, they are laid upon the prime minister until the new presidential election is held.
