Family members were questioned during the investigation and trial in the criminal case against former Presidential Administration head Ramiz Mehdiyev.
“Operative Information Center-OMM”, citing gununsesi.info, reports that Ramiz Mehdiyev’s daughter, Kamila Aliyeva, made notable statements about her father and his activities in her testimony.
Aliyeva spoke about events at her father’s home, a document he showed her and Mehdiyev’s position on the document.
According to her, on October 8, 2025, her brother Teymur Mehdiyev called to say that something had happened at their father’s home and some documents had been taken away. She then went to her father’s house on Abbas Sahhat Street.
Aliyeva said that after meeting her father and mother at the house, Mehdiyev wanted to speak with her. He then handed her a paper folder bearing the name of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences:
“When I opened the folder, I saw a partly written page. I recognized the handwriting as my father’s.
The text contained critical remarks about the weakness of parliament in Azerbaijan, cases of corruption and the handling of citizens’ appeals.
I was under severe stress while reading it and could not finish. I told my husband, Ilham Aliyev, about it. After reading the text, he also asked my father whether he intended to send the document to anyone.”
According to the witness, she advised her father to tear up the page and throw it away. Mehdiyev, however, said he had been retired for six years and had no need to advise anyone.
Aliyeva said she also asked her father whether the text would be published, but received no answer: “After that, my father took the page from my hands. He did not speak to me for two days after the incident.”
She also said her father kept his personal documents only in his own room and did not share them with anyone.
In her testimony, Aliyeva said she did not know what later happened to the text or whether it had been destroyed.
