Mr. Orujov addressing the event on â€œInterreligious and intercultural understanding and Cooperation for Peaceâ€ of UN General Assembly said that there is a religious tolerance in Azerbaijan for thousands years.
Orujov called tolerance the greatest achievement of democratic society, said that a lot of nations, religion representatives regard Azerbaijan their second motherland. He said in an example Jewish community in Azerbaijan. But Committee chairman stressed that several circles under the veil of religion propagate hate ideology, racial discrimination.
Orujov stated that Armenians used historical tolerance qualities of Azerbaijanis and occupied 20% of Azerbaijani territory by trick.
â€œArmenia carries out genocide and ethnic cleansing policy. Though 1 million Azerbaijanis live in Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani regions 20 years ago, no Azerbaijani stayed there today. Armenia supports terrorism in state level,â€ he said.
Mr. Orujov basing on these factors accused Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian who was speaking about tolerance of hypocrisy. Following this, Orujov stated that Armenians destructed historical monuments belonging to Azerbaijan and other nations in occupied territories. He appealed to international community for protecting monuments belonging to Azerbaijan in Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani territories. /APA/
