Vahid Musayev Abdulla oglu (Azerbaijani: Vahid Musayev Abdulla oğlu) (died January 8, 1999) was the deputy Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan and Acting Minister within the month of August (unspecified), 1993.
Musayev was Deputy Minister of Defense and was assigned by the Speaker of the National Assembly of Azerbaijan and acting President Heydar Aliyev to lead the ministry until the new minister was appointed. Due to numerous mistakes during the operation to stabilize the situation in southern Azerbaijani regions of Lankoran, Astara, Masalli, Lerik, Yardimli, Jalilabad and Bilasuvar raions in August 1993 which led to civilian injuries, he was first demoted from the rank of Major General and then sacked as Deputy Minister of Defense on August 25, 1993.
Vahid Musayev is well known as one of the masterminds of the so-called General's Plot to overthrow the government of President Heydar Aliyev. General Vahid Musayev, general Rafig Agayev, general Shahin Musayev, Murad Sadaddinov and Faig Bakhishaliyev (former members of Special Purpose Police Unit (OPON)) and a few other colonels were arrested in August 1995 on charges of organizing coup d'état by planning to shoot the presidential airplane down in a premeditated rocket attack in May 1995. Vahid Mustafayev was sentenced to 15 years and jailed at Gobustan correctional institution.
