According to many republican media, the ambitious politician has been in opposition and constant contradictions with the leadership of the capital of Dagestan all the time of his reign as mayor of Izberbash.

He was accused of preparing a terrorist act and organizing a murder, and in August was sentenced to life imprisonment. During the investigation, Amirov was removed from his post. In this regard, the leadership of the city was assigned to the acting mayor. First, Murtazali Rabadanov was appointed to this post, and after his voluntary resignation, Magomed Suleimanov becomes the new head of the capital of Dagestan. This happened on 04/04/2014.

Why fellow countrymen call him Sailor
Calling a politician this nickname, one can hardly cause his bewilderment or indignation. He repeatedly spoke about this in an interview for the press.

As Magomed Suleimanov says: "I myself gave birth to this nickname." Today, all residents of the republic know this name under this name, and not a single Dagestan has a question about who they are talking about when the word "Sailor" is spoken in the conversation.
