The head of state recalled Azerbaijan's hosting of the Islamic Solidarity Games.

President Ilham Aliyev expressed his concern about the rise of Islamophobic trends in Europe and condemned them, emphasizing that a very important international conference on Islamophobia had been hosted by Azerbaijan some time ago.
