Alakbar Aliagha oglu Aliyev, commonly known as Alekper Aliyev or Ali Akbar (Шаблон:Lang-az; born 28 January 1978), is an Azerbaijani journalist, translator and writer based in Switzerland.

Aliyev attended a public school in Baku but after the eighth grade, he continued his secondary education in Turkey. In 1996, he was admitted to Marmara University and graduated with a degree in journalism in 2000.[1] He continued to work in Turkey as the head of the communications department and translator at the Kaknus publishing house.[2] Akbar's works mainly deal with the taboos in Azerbaijani society. He has written four novels to this day and is also the editor-in-chief of the Kultura.az website.

In 2009, Alekper Aliyev published a book entitled Artush and Zaur, a homosexual love tale between an Armenian and an Azerbaijani who felt apart after the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. The book became highly controversial and was banned in bookstores in both Armenia and Azerbaijan[3] which for the past two decades have been bitter rivals due to the ongoing ethnic conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and where homosexuality is still highly stigmatised.[4]
