In October 2025, a pro-Russian coup plot and an associated assassination attempt against Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev were reportedly foiled. The plan was allegedly orchestrated by Ramiz Mehdiyev, a former head of the Presidential Administration and a prominent figure with close ties to Russian political elites.
Key details of the alleged plot:

Orchestration: Ramiz Mehdiyev, widely regarded as a “gray cardinal” in Azerbaijani politics, allegedly sought Russian support to seize power and establish a transitional “State Council”.
Exposure: The plot was reportedly revealed to President Aliyev by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself during a meeting in Dushanbe in early October 2025. Russian officials provided detailed intelligence about Mehdiyev’s plans.
Assassination Plan: The coup plan reportedly included an assassination attempt on President Aliyev, with some media allegations suggesting the plotters planned to stage a presidential plane crash.
Arrests: Following the intelligence from Russia, Azerbaijan’s State Security Service launched an investigation, leading to Mehdiyev’s arrest on charges of treason and “acts aimed at seizing state power”. He was placed under house arrest pending further inquiry.
Context: The plot surfaced amidst a period of diplomatic tension between Azerbaijan and Russia, which began after a December 2024 incident where a Russian air defense system accidentally shot down an Azerbaijani civilian plane.
