'This trend is very dangerous for the competition in the market,' Zohrab Ismayil, chairman of the Support The Free Economy public organization, told RFE/RL when asked about Arif Rahimov and his position as director of the Azerbaijani Grand Prix. No such tender was held in awarding Arif Rahimov's company the right to organize the Baku races. It is a fact that has led to suggestions of a conflict of interest and allegations that the younger Rahimov was tapped to organize the prestigious Formula One (F1) event because of his father.Īccording to Azerbaijani law, a public tender has to be held for any government contract worth more than 50,000 manats ($29,400). Rahimov, 30, is the son of Azerbaijani Youth and Sports Minister Azad Rahimov. As the flashy Formula One circuit comes roaring into Baku for the second straight year, that the organizer of the race is the son of the country's sports minister is fueling renewed controversy and reminding outsiders of Azerbaijan's reputation for nepotism and corruption.Īrif Rahimov is the executive director of Baku City Circuit (BCC), the company responsible for organizing and promoting the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which will be raced along the capital city's Caspian Sea coast and wind through its picturesque Old Town on June 25.
