Summary/Abstract: Azerbaijan’s political theater grew more suspenseful in late June. On 23 June, the ruling New Azerbaijan party named President Heidar Aliev as its candidate, despite Aliev’s startling series of collapses on state television in April. The day before, the Azerbaijan Democratic Party nominated Rasul Guliev, an exiled politician. By the 15 October vote, one major candidate may emerge to challenge Aliev--who may no longer be in the running.
