The second wife of the deceased wanted him to be buried in France. However, his daughter Asmar Narimanbekova opposed it. She demanded to bury her father in Azerbaijan and appealed to the French court in this regard. Court has passed a judgment to bury him in France. An appeal filed against judgment has been rejected.
