Qadriddin Aslonov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Qadriddin Aslonov (Tajik/Persian: Қадриддин Аслонов/قدرالدین اصلانوف), also spelled Kadriddin Aslonov (1947-1992), was acting President of Tajikistan between August 31 and September 23, 1991. When his predecessor Qahhor Mahkamov resigned as the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the republic, Aslonov was elected his successor. One of Aslonov's first actions as leader was to sign an edict calling for the cessation of all activities of the Communist Party on the territory of Tajikistan and the nationalization of the party's property. The Congress of the Communist Party of Tajikistan subsequently convened in the second half of September 1991 to announce the dissolution of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

On September 23, conservative forces in the Tajik government ousted Aslonov. First Party Secretary Rahmon Nabiev was installed as president, and a state of emergency was declared the same day.
