Baku. Anakhanum Idoyatova – APA. “I would like to express my clear position that Azerbaijan is a country of tolerance. Azerbaijan is a role model for the world in regards to the Jewish community”. Ambassador of Israel Rafael Harpaz told APA, answering the question on the results of ADL global survey of anti-Semitic attitudes in more than 100 countries around the world, where it is said that in Azerbaijan, allegedly, anti – Semitism rate reaches 37 %.
Ambassador stressed that Jews live in Azerbaijan for thousands of years, have always felt at home and have been fully integrated. Ambassador noted that he hasn’t seen this survey and stressed that the Jewish community has always felt safe and secure in Azerbaijan:” There is no Anti-Semitism in Azerbaijan, Jewish community lives proudly here and Azerbaijani government supports the community. There are important Jewish communities in Baku and in Krasnaya Sloboda, thriving Jewish schools and synagogues. I want to reiterate that Azerbaijan is a role model for other countries in its attitude towards the Jewish community”
