Biography
Adila Mutallibova was born in Baku in 1938.[1] She married Ayaz Mutallibov in 1961. The couple had two sons: Azad (1962–August 2011) and Zaur (b. 1970).
President Ayaz Mutallibov was forced to resign during the spring of 1992 as the Nagorno-Karabakh War turned in Armenia's favor.[2] Adila Mutallibova and her husband fled Azerbaijan and lived in exile in Moscow, Russia, from 1992 until 2011.[2] They were allowed to return to Azerbaijan in August 2011 to attend the funeral of their son, Azad, who died from cancer.[3][4] Adila and Ayaz Mutallibov permanently returned from exile in July 2012 and lived in Baku.[4]
Mutallibova died following a long illness on 5 July 2019, at the age of 81.[2] Her funeral was held later the same day at the Taza Pir Mosque in Baku.[2] She was buried in Baku's Yasamal cemetery next to her son, Azad, who died in 2011.[2][5]
