Muslim countries should solve problems among themselves peacefully and strengthen solidarity, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev said on Tuesday.
Azerbaijan contributes to the strengthening of Islamic solidarity, said President Aliyev addressing his meeting with ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions of Muslim countries in Azerbaijan, which was held on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, APA reported.
“As you know, 2017 was declared the ‘Year of Islamic Solidarity in Azerbaijan’. On this occasion, many events were held in our country, as well as in other countries. The declaration of this year as the ‘Year of Islamic Solidarity’ demonstrates our policy and intention,” he said.
The president also spoke about the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games recently held in Azerbaijan.
“Athletes from numerous Muslim countries took part in the Games. We had many guests. I hope that they returned to their countries with the most pleasant impressions,” he said.
The president added: “The Islamic Solidarity Games are not just a sporting event. We wanted these Games to unite the Islamic world. Being in Baku, athletes and guests lived as one family, and I’m sure that during these days, Islamic solidarity reached its peak. We, in turn, should try to maintain the Islamic solidarity at this level. I’m confident that this will happen.”
