Former President of Azerbaijan, “National leader” Heydar Aliyev is presented as an example of a modern dictator alongside with Saddam Hussein and Pinochet in the textbooks of “Constitutional Law” for the law students of Turkish universities.

According to Azadlyg, photos have appeared in the social networks, where the pages of the textbook are clearly visible. There under the definition of autocrat the photo of Heydar Aliev is depicted who is also called a “dictator” just like Saddam Hussein and Pinochet.

“During the dictatorship all the functions of the executive and judicial powers are in the hands of one person. Dictators, in contrast to the autocrats, do not inherit the power or get it in the result of elections, but they get it in a result of using the unstable and difficult condition that exists in the country. Dictators in the right wing may be known as the Nazis or National Socialists, and in the left wing may be known as communists. Today dictators can rely on a certain ideology. However, these individuals who control the power and sovereignty of the state form the controlling system, not compatible with humanity. Examples: Saddam Hussein, Heydar Aliyev, Pinochet…” the Turkish textbook says.
