This year, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev offered his wife a special anniversary present — he appointed her first vice president. 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.)
Look of course this is ultimate power move from Ilham Aliyev to legit just make up his own damn rules as he goes. And I am all for "fuck you I can do whatever I want" decisions, but this is one I just can't condone. I am far from a married man, but isn't work suppose to be your escape from your wife? This man has to deal with the shit-storm of a country that is Azerbaijan* by day, and than come home and deal with his wife and kids by night. So why on earth combine the two?! Makes negative sense. I get that pussy can make any guy do crazy things, but isn't that reserved for young hot single girls? Certainly not your 52 year old wife.
My only theory is that Ilham Aliyev is all but positive he going to be assassinated because you know, Azerbaijan; and he wants to make sure he keeps the presidency in the family until his son takes the reins. Otherwise I can't think of one reason that this makes sense in the slightest. Hopefully his 19 year old son won't make the same idiotic mistake.
*BTW I have no idea what is going on in Azerbaijan, but one can only assume its a shit-storm
