Azerbaijani presidential elections are being held, with observers unanimously agreeing that Ilham Aliyev will win a new term. For the first time in the country's history, elections will be held throughout Azerbaijan, including in the Karabakh region.

Almost none of the observers have doubts about the inevitability of AliyEV winning the elections, by a wide margin with the rest of the candidates. The most experienced of them is Kudrat Hasan Guliyev, who has participated in all presidential campaigns since 2003, but did not receive more than 3% of the votes.
