`Azerbaijan has become an international venue for interreligious and intercultural dialogue`
Baku, August 15 (AZERTAC). “Azerbaijan has become an international venue for interreligious and intercultural dialogue. This is not only due to our geographical position or the fact that representatives of different religions have lived like one family in Azerbaijan for centuries. The international authority of His Holiness Sheikh is playing a role in this,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at the iftar party on the occasion of the Ramadan.
The Head of State expressed satisfaction that esteemed Sheikh is greatly respected in the world and important steps are taken on his initiative to strengthen the interreligious dialogue both on the international arena and in the Caucasus.
“International events are held, religious leaders from neighboring regions occasionally come to Azerbaijan. I want to recall a visit by the muftis of North Caucasian republics of Russia. It was a very successful visit. This brings us even closer together, and these factors are very important to peace, stability and tolerance in the Caucasus,” he said.
