Military operations in Nagorno-Karabakh and statements by Turkish officials that Turks and Azerbaijanis are one people allegedly complicated the situation for Azerbaijani businessmen in the Urals.
This was reported by URA.RU, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Azerbaijani traders are preparing for inspections. The business associated with the heir of thief in law Guli will suffer. If the situation worsens, the first to feel the problems will be the Azerbaijani “cashers” through whom financial flows flow connecting southern traders in Yekaterinburg with the “roof” - representatives of the murdered Guli, whose multibillion-dollar empire was inherited by his brother Namik Salifov.
The second large concentration of Azerbaijanis in the Sverdlovsk region is the Alapaevsky district, where representatives of this nation own almost all the sawmills.
However, residents of the village of Makhnevo, 90 km from Alapaevsk (due to the large diaspora, it is called “little Azerbaijan”) say that Azerbaijani businessmen still feel at ease and calm.
Meanwhile, political scientist Ilya Grashchenkov listed the names of the most influential Russian Azerbaijanis.
“At a minimum, the TOP 5 Azerbaijani businessmen (by origin) play a serious role in Russian politics and economics, among them: Vagit Alekperov (Lukoil), Zarakh Iliev (chairman of the board of directors of Vysotka LLC and co-owner of the Kievskaya Ploshchad group), God Nisanov (Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kievskaya Ploshchad LLC and owner of Food City), Araz Agalarov (Crocus), Farhad Akhmedov (holder of shares of large Russian companies: Novatek, Lukoil, Gazprom, Norilsk Nickel) , Sberbank and Magnit) and many others,” Grashchenkov wrote in his Telegram channel.
