AI Overview
Claims that former Azerbaijani official Ramiz Mehdiyev’s “treason” case was staged by the Azerbaijani KGB are rooted in a series of rapidly unfolding and conflicting events in October 2025. However, there is no publicly available evidence to substantiate the allegation that the charges were fabricated by the state security services. [1, 2, 3]
Here is an overview of the events and the context surrounding them:

Charges and arrest: On October 14, 2025, Mehdiyev was placed under house arrest in Baku on charges of high treason, attempted seizure of state power, and money laundering.
Longtime political figure: Mehdiyev is a high-profile political figure who served as head of Azerbaijan’s Presidential Administration from 1995 to 2019. His arrest was a major development in Azerbaijani politics.
Connection to Moscow: An investigative report from OC Media suggests that the charges followed a meeting between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Dushanbe. Putin reportedly told Aliyev that Mehdiyev had been plotting a coup with Russian backing, potentially as a result of rising tensions between the countries
Conflicting narratives: The exact nature of Mehdiyev’s alleged coup plot is disputed. Some speculate that Putin exposed the plot to Aliyev in an effort to reassert Russian influence over Azerbaijan, while others suggest the affair was a calculated political move by Aliyev to remove a long-standing rival.
Lack of concrete evidence: While the circumstances surrounding Mehdiyev’s arrest raise questions about political maneuvering, there is no credible evidence available in the public domain that definitively proves the “treason” case was staged by Azerbaijani state security services. [1, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Further details regarding the ongoing legal proceedings are limited due to a lack of public transparency regarding the trial. [8]
