Baku. Mubariz Aslanov – APA. The Cadi Council of the Caucasian Muslim Board has issued a fatwa taking into account cases on abusing sacred moments such as jihad and martyrdom, as well as dissatisfaction of religious men with preconceived opinions on this subject in the several circles of the society.

We all owe our lives to the martyrs of 20th January, Karabakh therefore, we should to immortalize our martyrs and cite them as example to the next generation. A person who was killed for land, religious, family, homeland is a martyr. Main requirement of the Islam religious is self-defense against aggressors.
