A Look Back in Time
During the time of the Soviet Union, the person in charge of the government was called the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars. Later, this role was known as the chairman of the Council of Ministers. People who held these jobs are sometimes called prime ministers. They were also known as Premiers.
Who Takes Over if the President Can't?
The prime minister holds the third most important job in Azerbaijan's government. If the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the prime minister is second in line to take over. The first vice-president is first in line. Before September 2016, when the First Vice-President role was created, the prime minister was the first person to take over.
