Father and Son

Driving through Azerbaijan is exotic, whereas on an African safari the objective is spotting the many varieties of wild animals, here it is the vast array of cult of personality posters of the father and son; former president Heydar Aliyev land his son, the current president of the ‘democratic republic of Azerbaijan’, Ilham Aliyev.
The posters come along with proverbs and collective wisdom such as:
  • I respect people who live in villages.
  • The man who charmed the entire world.

  • I am always with you! Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan,…

  • I will continue Heydar Aliyev politics!

Those posters are wonderful... I wonder how well such a campaign would work here in Sweden... Perhaps something for Reinfeldt to get inspired by?

By the way, it looks like you made a typo on the last one, it should read:
The man who conquered the entire world :-O
