The current president Ilham Aliyev is widely expected to win another term after taking over the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh enclave.

Euronews correspondent Anna Ghudushauri spoke to people in Azerbaijan ahead of an election almost certain to give incumbent President Ilham Aliyev another seven years in power.
