PRESIDENT ILHAM ALIYEV CONGRATULATES JEWISH COMMUNITY OF AZERBAIJAN ON ROSH HASHANAH
President Ilham Aliyev today has sent a message of congratulations to the Jewish community of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the Rosh Hashanah (New Year) holiday.
“Jews, who have been living in Azerbaijan for centuries in the atmosphere of fraternity and friendship and ethnic and religious tolerance, have never faced here any type of anti-Semitism or discrimination. Conversely, they have managed to preserve and bring their language, cultural and spiritual traditions to our present,” President Aliyev said in the message.
“It gives me a great pleasure to point out that even today, the Jewish community is closely involved in socio-political and scientific and cultural life of Azerbaijan making valuable contributions to strengthening of the country’s independence and dissemination of truth about it across the world,” the Azerbaijani leader said.
The President wished the Jewish community of Azerbaijan a happy Rosh Roshanah, peace and prosperity.
