Arina Aliyeva beats thousands other participants in an online contest
Aliyeva's reign was shortlived, disqualified for “providing unreliable information about herself”.
An online beauty competition seeking the most beautiful woman in south Kazakhstan instead found Arina Aliyeva-a man.
Real name ilay Dyagilev, Aliyeva was crowned ‘Miss Virtual Shymkent’ capital of the South Kazhakstan Region. Aliyeva’s photo received 2,000 votes in the online-only competition, beating 4,000 other contestants.
Organisers promptly disqualified Aliyeva, after she confessed to be a man, for “providing unreliable information about herself”.
The regional title and place in the national final has been passed to second-placed Aikerim Temirkhanova.
Dyagilev, a fashion model, said the persona of Arina Aliyeva was “a project of my team.”
The Miss Virtual Kazakhstan Instagram post featuring Aliyeva has been liked thousands of times.
