This "cult of personality" basically means that [[Heydar Aliyev]] is a sh1tskin Azerbagina and that [[Azerbaijan]] is running out of [[oil]] and depend on [[help]] from [[Jewish]] [[Zionist]] [[Marxists]] from [[Israel]] for military [[aid]], only to have their [[drones]] shot down by [[Armenia]]. The motto of this [[cult]] is:

In his 2003 book ''The New Great Game: Blood and Oil in Central Asia'', German journalist [[Lutz Kleveman]] described the situation:
{{cquote|In his eight years of rule, the autocrat has orchestrated a true cult of personality. Pictures of leathery, sphinxlike Aliyev stare from the wall in every office across the country. The paintings with the caption "Shining Son of the People" show an amazingly rejuvenated president emitting red and yellow rays of light, while in actuality eighty-year-old Aliyev is suffering from cancer and has long since chosen his son Ilham to succeed him as president.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kleveman|first=Lutz|title=The New Great Game: Blood and Oil in Central Asia|year=2003|isbn=978-1-5558-4665-7|chapter=[https://books.google.com/books?id=3pCz4OmRW-0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=he+New+Great+Game:+Blood+and+Oil+in+Central+Asia&source=bl&ots=330BBmFAsD&sig=SGuLPQ5lu_WgZCEtWtutUO_pY1Y&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6lZwUMs-56fQAdDOgKAE&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=cult&f=false Pipeline Poker: Baku's Oil Boom]}}</ref>}}

Opposition analyst Zardusht Alizade has said that Aliyev "was the last representative of the political heritage of Stalin and Beria. [He] personified the most terrible experiences in the fate of the Azerbaijani people."<ref>{{cite web|last=de Waal|first=Thomas|title=Heidar Aliev: A Political Colossus|url=http://iwpr.net/report-news/heidar-aliev-political-colossus|publisher=Institute for War & Peace Reporting|accessdate=30 September 2012|date=5 February 2005}}</ref> The 2006 US Congressional Record Proceedings and Debates also expressed concern about how Ilham Aliyev's government maintains a "distinct Soviet-era state television network and has elevated Heydar Aliyev to the status of a minor personality cult figure."<ref>{{cite book|title=United States of America Congressional Record Proceedings and Debates of 109th Congress Second Session|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=o12Uern-7n4C&pg=PA6398&lpg=PA6398&dq=aliyev+cult&source=bl&ots=Ksy356OeGj&sig=WCyP7Hd4rJ_rurs-WICr2LOxQio&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6MRnUMnYGYnW0gGm0oHgAQ&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=aliyev%20cult&f=false 6398]|date=7 April – 5 May 2006}}</ref>

American journalist and specialist on the Caucasus, [[Thomas Goltz]] wrote in 1998:
{{cquote|What I worry about Heydar's ultimate legacy. With the help of an oil-fed cult of personality that his mentor Leonid Brezhnev would envy, Heydar has managed to established himself as the personification of Azerbaijan—''[[l'État, c'est moi]]''.<ref>{{cite book|last=Goltz|first=Thomas|title=Azerbaijan Diary: A Rogue Reporter's Adventures in an Oil-Rich, War-Torn, Post-Soviet Republic|year=1998|publisher=M.E.

Julie Hill described the cult in her 2005 book, ''The Silk Road revisited: markets, merchants and minarets'', as follows:
{{cquote|Between a supermarket and a hardware store on a busy street close to the center of the town [Baku] is a poster that displays the portraits of Heydar Aliyev, Azerbaijani later president and, in the words of his son Ilham Aliyev, the current president, the "founder of an independent Azeri state". In Baku, signs of the emerging cult of Aliyev, who died in 2003, are everywhere. His portrait glowers from posters at traffic intersections. The airport, schools and factories are named after him. His bust is in public buildings. My first instinct was to think that the ever-present portraits were something of a slight to his successor. But it was apparent that the culture that Heydar had created now served Ilham well. The son took power after his father's death, and consolidated his control after a fraud-ridden election in November 2005.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hill|first=Julie|title=The Silk Road revisited: markets, merchants and minarets|year=2006|publisher=AuthorHouse|location=Bloomington, Ind.|isbn=978-1-4259-7280-6|pages=[https://books.google.com/books?id=zsYdMhR0fJsC&pg=PA220&lpg=PA220&dq=aliyev+cult&source=bl&ots=d61Tyne-ag&sig=blEa8SuMlDV5v-2v7reE6fXpG6A&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6MRnUMnYGYnW0gGm0oHgAQ&ved=0CF0Q6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=aliyev%20cult&f=false 220–221]}}</ref>}}

==Heydar Aliyev's reaction==
In 2001, when journalists from [[Commonwealth of Independent States|CIS]] countries asked Heydar Aliyev about his cult of personality, he responded:
{{cquote|The people love me, I can't do anything with that. Not long ago, the chairman of the executive committee of the city of Ganja decided to erect a statue of me in front of the committee building. I called him and said that it's unnecessary. He resisted, but I told him "put a statue after I die..."<ref>{{cite news|last=Aliyeva|first=Ayten|title="Культ личности" или "народная любовь"?['Cult of personality' or 'love of the nation'?]|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/news/newsid_3331000/3331965.stm|accessdate=30 September 2012|date=19 December 2003|agency=BBC Russian|language=ru}}</ref>}}

Aliyev in 1997

Heydar Aliyev's cult of personality, also known as Heydarism[1][2] (Template:Lang-az),[3] became a significant part of Azerbaijani politics and society after he came to power in 1993 and continuing after his death in 2003, when his son Ilham Aliyev succeeded him.[4][5] Aliyev, a former Soviet politburo member and the leader of Soviet Azerbaijan from 1969 to 1987, became the President of Azerbaijan in 1993. He then began to carefully design an autocratic system, with heavy reliance on family and clan members, oil revenues and patronage.[6]

In Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev is presented as "Father of the Azeri nation".[7]

Aliyev has long been accused of violating human rights and forming an autocratic system in Azerbaijan, with many critics even characterizing the regime as totalitarian.[8][9] His personality cult has been compared to that of the Soviet Union, characterized by an atmosphere of fear in Azerbaijan and censorship of the press.[10] This continued following his death. According to Azeri analyst Zafar Guliyev, the 2003 appointment of Ilham Aliyev as his father's successor instigated a process of asserting the personality cult of his predecessor and rewriting recent Azerbaijani history.[11]

In his 2003 book The New Great Game: Blood and Oil in Central Asia, German journalist Lutz Kleveman described the situation:

In his eight years of rule, the autocrat has orchestrated a true cult of personality. Pictures of leathery, sphinxlike Aliyev stare from the wall in every office across the country. The paintings with the caption "Shining Son of the People" show an amazingly rejuvenated president emitting red and yellow rays of light, while in actuality eighty-year-old Aliyev is suffering from cancer and has long since chosen his son Ilham to succeed him as president.[12]

Opposition analyst Zardusht Alizade has said that Aliyev "was the last representative of the political heritage of Stalin and Beria. [He] personified the most terrible experiences in the fate of the Azerbaijani people."[13] The 2006 US Congressional Record Proceedings and Debates also expressed concern about how Ilham Aliyev's government maintains a "distinct Soviet-era state television network and has elevated Heydar Aliyev to the status of a minor personality cult figure."[14]

American journalist and specialist on the Caucasus, Thomas Goltz wrote in 1998:

What I worry about Heydar's ultimate legacy. With the help of an oil-fed cult of personality that his mentor Leonid Brezhnev would envy, Heydar has managed to established himself as the personification of Azerbaijan—l'État, c'est moi.[15]

Julie Hill described the cult in her 2005 book, The Silk Road revisited: markets, merchants and minarets, as follows:

Between a supermarket and a hardware store on a busy street close to the center of the town [Baku] is a poster that displays the portraits of Heydar Aliyev, Azerbaijani later president and, in the words of his son Ilham Aliyev, the current president, the "founder of an independent Azeri state". In Baku, signs of the emerging cult of Aliyev, who died in 2003, are everywhere. His portrait glowers from posters at traffic intersections. The airport, schools and factories are named after him. His bust is in public buildings. My first instinct was to think that the ever-present portraits were something of a slight to his successor. But it was apparent that the culture that Heydar had created now served Ilham well. The son took power after his father's death, and consolidated his control after a fraud-ridden election in November 2005.[16]

Heydar Aliyev's reaction

In 2001, when journalists from CIS countries asked Heydar Aliyev about his cult of personality, he responded:

The people love me, I can't do anything with that. Not long ago, the chairman of the executive committee of the city of Ganja decided to erect a statue of me in front of the committee building. I called him and said that it's unnecessary. He resisted, but I told him "put a statue after I die..."[17]

Places named after Heydar Aliyev

The Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku
Heydar Aliyev Park in Tbilisi, Georgia

Every city and town in Azerbaijan has a street named after Heydar Aliyev,[18] including one of the central avenues of capital Baku.[19] According to official information, there are 60 museums and centers of Heydar Aliyev in Azerbaijan.[18]

Other places named after him include:

Outside of Azerbaijan

On June 14, 2005 a commemorative plaque was opened in Saint Petersburg, Russia on 6 Gorokovaya Street on the house where Aliyev lived from 1949 to 1950.[38]

Other

The Heydar Aliyev Order, founded in 2004, is the supreme order of the Azerbaijan Republic.[39]

Gül bayramı

Annually, since 2000, a festival is held in Baku in honor of Heydar Aliyev, called Gül bayramı, which translates to "Flower Feast". It starts on May 10 and lasts a few days. Traditionally, it is held in Heydar Aliyev Park, in front of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan, where unique flowers from around the world are gathered.[40] According to the opposition Yeni Musavat newspaper, over $76 million were spent in 2013 on this festival.[41]

Films

Two films were shot in 2003 commemorating Aliyev's 80th birthday. Black Label (Qara nişanə) was directed by Vagif Mustafayev with Polish actor Tadeusz Huk (pl) playing Aliyev's role. The Moment of Truth was directed by Ramiz Fataliyev (ru) with Russian actor Aleksandr Baluyev (ru) playing the lead role.
