Salau Aliyev or Salau Aliev is a Kumyk nationalist and politician. In 1990, Aliyev was one of the founders of the , or "Kumyk Peoples' Party". Aliyev believes that the Kumyks are descended from the medieval Khazars and cites the Khazar Khaganate and the later Shamkhalate of Tarki as inspiring his vision of a Kumyk-dominated, independent Dagestan. His critics contend that such a state would be ruled by a minority of its population.
