He said the conversation was confidential.
â€œOur conversation was confidential. I can only say that the restoration of Fakhrali mosque will be solved within the framework of the law. The problem will be solved soon. There were some misunderstandings, but they will be solved. Sheikh-ul-Islam Haji Allahshukur Pashazadeh talked to Ilia II over the phone several times,â€ he said.

Arif Aliyev, official representative of SOCAR-Georgia in Kvemo-Kartli, commented on the picket of the Georgian priests in front of the filling stations near Bolnisi.
â€œWe have not acted wrongly, we neednâ€™t justify ourselves. On the contrary, the priests create obstacles for our work. The people are building that mosque. It has nothing to do with SOCAR-Georgia. Mosque is the house of Allah, everybody should help its construction. If SOCAR-Georgia helped construct the mosque, this support should be welcomed. We have not disturbed anybody, we are always doing good deeds,â€ he said.

Mullah of Fakhralli village Adil Nabiyev told APAâ€™s Georgia bureau that a group of believers met with head of Bolnisi executive power Iosif Loliashvili.
â€œLoliashvili told them that a religious organization was holding the picket. He said he had given permission to restore the mosque, but recommended to officialize it,â€ he said.
