Alasgarov said he submitted the necessary documents about Allahshukur Pashazadeh and opinions from five countries to the International Nobel Prize Information Center several years ago.
â€œWe applied to 13 countries for opinion, 5 countries expressed their opinion. Their opinions were positive. But due to the technical reasons the documents of Allahshukur Pashazadeh were not discussed at the World Peace Council. If they had been discussed, the prize would have been given to the head of the Caucasian Muslims Board this year. Several years ago Prognostics Center of the Nobel Prize Committee said a religious figure would be awarded in the following years. Pope John Paul II, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II and Sheikh-ul-Islam Haji Allahshukur Pashazadeh were included into the list. As two of the abovementioned persons died, the prize must have been automatically presented to Sheikh-ul-Islam. Nobel Peace Prize is presented only to the alive persons,â€ he said.

Alasgarov said the documents submitted to the International Nobel Prize Information Center underlined the role of the head of the Caucasian Muslims Board in stopping the Chechen war, eliminating the discrimination between Shiites and Sunnites in the world, collecting blood for ill-health people,
â€œI submitted these facts to the International Nobel Prize Information Center. We expect that the head of the Caucasian Muslims Board will win this award next year,â€ he said.

Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010, US President Barack Obama in 2009. the Since 1901 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded for work in a wide range of fields including advocacy of human rights, mediation of international conflicts, and arms control.
