Father ran away from the former son-in-law of the President of Kazakhstan
An elderly father ran away from the former son-in-law of the President of Kazakhstan, and now the most scandalous refugee in Europe from this country. We are talking about a former high-ranking Kazakh security officer and diplomat, 47-year-old Rakhat Aliyev, who was forcibly divorced from Dariga Nazarbayeva two years ago, and his father, 76-year-old academician of medicine Mukhtar Aliyev. As the press secretary of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry Ilyas Omarov reported yesterday, at four o’clock in the morning on May 4, Mukhtar Aliyev, unnoticed by the guards of the mansion in Vienna where he lived, climbed over the fence and arrived at the Kazakh embassy, where he asked for a meeting with Ambassador Kazykhanov. Aliyev Sr. said that since October 2008, his son Rakhat Aliyev had in every possible way prevented his return to his homeland, taking away all his documents: passport, credit card, phone, personal belongings (suitcase and two travel bags). According to Mukhtar Aliyev, two weeks ago he also secretly left the house and, having reached the city police department, filed a written statement, but, as Ilyas Omarov noted, “there was no positive decision.”How Aliyev the father, after his visit to the police, ended up back in the mansion where he was kept, the press secretary of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry did not say. But as Vremya Novostey managed to find out from its own sources in Vienna, this happened thanks to the intervention of both Aliyev’s son’s bodyguard and his acquaintance, a certain police representative. They took Mukhtar Aliyev from the hands of the police after his first escape, saying that they would settle the matter on their own.
Finding himself at the Kazakh embassy after the second escape, Academician Aliyev stated that he “repeatedly tried to peacefully resolve the problem of his departure home, but was unsuccessful, so he was forced to go on hunger strike seven times.” Ilyas Omarov reported that Mukhtar Aliyev answered questions at the embassy “competently and laconically.” The diplomat also said that after a heart surgeon was called to him, Aliyev Sr. “was placed in a room specially allocated for him at the embassy, where he was provided with food,” and during his stay at the diplomatic mission “in the evening and at night, its 24-hour physical security, and a mobile patrol of the Viennese police was also deployed.”
However, as Vremya Novostei learned last night, these measures had to be abandoned after Mukhtar Aliyev’s daughter Gulshat urgently flew to Vienna from London. She picked up her father from the embassy and took him to one of the Viennese hotels.
The night of May 6, an elderly father who escaped from his own son (during a medical examination, small hematomas were found on his arms, legs and chest, which he explained by falling from the fence, which he allegedly had to climb over during his escape), Mukhtar Aliyev spent in the hotel , despite the fact that, according to some reports, he was supposed to fly to Astana this morning on a regular flight of Austrian airlines.
It seems that today the academician, twice laureate of the State Prize of Kazakhstan and holder of the title “Hero of Kazakhstan,” or, as Ilyas Omarov noted, “citizen of Kazakhstan Aliyev,” will be “safely” returned to his homeland. As informed sources in Astana told Vremya Novostei, this important state matter is under the personal control of the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev. As for Rakhat Aliyev, who fled to Austria two years ago, he, already convicted in absentia in his homeland in two criminal cases (preparing a seizure of power, kidnapping) to a total of 40 years in prison, will most likely face another trial. This time - on charges of kidnapping and taking his own father hostage.
