Tale Heydarov (Azerbaijani: Tale Heydərov; born 9 February 1985) is an Azerbaijani businessman and investor.

Early life and education

Heydarov attended Collingham College, London, from 2001–2003, and read for a BSc International Relations and History at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) from 2003–2006.

He received a Master’s degree in International Security and Global Governance from Birkbeck, University of London, in 2008.

Career

Tale Heydarov is Chairman of the Board of Gilan Holdings, a conglomerate business in Azerbaijan. Heyadrov took over the company from his father who founded the company in the 1980s. The company has invested in the Azeri football clubs Gabala FC football club and Gabala Sports Club. Tale was president of Gabala FC from 2005 to 2019, and Gabala Sports Club since 2013.

Tale is the founder of several companies in the publishing sector, including TEAS PRESS Publishing House and the Libraff chain of bookstores, which sells publications in Azerbaijani, English, Russian and Turkish. Heydarov has published books about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through his publishing house. His publications include The Armenian Question in the Caucasus: Russian Archive Documents and Publications (2011), the Khojaly Witness of a War Crime: Armenia in the Dock (2015) and Karabakh History in the Context of Conflict (2015) and The People the World Forgot.

While a student in London, Heydarov founded the London Azerbaijani Society which later developed into the European Azerbaijani Society (TEAS). It is a lobbying group which was known for sponsoring luxurious trips for European politicians to travel to Azerbaijan and promoting the authoritarian regime in Azerbaijan. The group was involved in the Azerbaijani laundromat scandal.
