President Geidar Aliev's son won a landslide victory in Azerbaijan to succeed his 80-year-old father, according to election officials, as clashes erupted between police and protesters alleging widespread vote fraud in the former Soviet republic.
Aliev, 41, led a field of eight candidates, standing alone for the ruling party after his father, hospitalized in the United States, withdrew less than two weeks before the vote.
At a news conference Wednesday, Gambar waved a stack of ballots marked for Aliev that he claimed had been filled out before the election, and asserted he beat the president's son in districts where international observers were able to watch.

A dominant force in Azeri politics since 1969, the elder Aliev began courting Western oil companies and investors after he was elected president in 1993, two years after Azerbaijan gained its independence from the former Soviet Union.
The case against Swiss lawyer Hans Bodmer centers on the planned privatization of the country's state oil company, a selloff that Geidar Aliev pitched to Western investors in 1997 but ultimately never occurred, according to a lawsuit filed by investors last year against the elder Aliev and his son.
Ilham Aliev, who was the state oil company's vice president in 1997 and 1998, denied the allegations made against him and his father in the Bodmer case.

Ilham Aliev was not prime minister then, but he quickly began pushing his candidacy for the post.
After the referendum, the Azerbaijani opposition accused Geidar Aliev of “fixing the constitution in Ilham’s favor”, saying that now the political process in Azerbaijan was merely a decorative frame for a family clan transfer of power from father to son.
When it finally became clear that the veteran of the Soviet Politburo and longtime leader of independent Azerbaijan was unable to carry out his presidential duties, government of the country passed to the prime minister in strict compliance with the constitution.

Certainly, it is also the case that virtually all the leaders of the Caspian states seem firmly entrenched in their Presidential offices.
Geidar Aliev’s successor in Azerbaijan should face a somewhat easier problem, if he is chosen in even a quasi-democratic way.
However, if Aliev holds an undemocratic presidential election in 1998 and then tries to put his son in charge, then Azerbaijan could once again degenerate into the kind of civil disorder that helped bring Aliev back to power in 1993.

Heading the crackdown is Rafik Aliev, head of the state committee for relations with religious organisations, who doubles up as owner of Baku's three-star Irshad Hotel, where the Pope will stay tonight.
