Sheikh-ul-islam: I wish Garegin came to Baku and saw Azerbaijanâ€™s truths with his own eyes

Chairman of Caucasian Muslims Office, sheikh-ul-islam Haji Allahshukur Pashazadeh said Baku summit will be held on April 27-29. He said holding such an event in Baku is of great importance.
â€œAbout 150 religious leaders will attend the event. Each of them brings together millions of people in a state. 11 patriarchs from the Catholic Church will attend the summit. The representatives of the traditional religions will attend the summit,â€ he said.

Allahshukur Pashazadeh did not exclude that Armenian Catholicos Garegin II will be invited to the summit.
â€œCIS Interreligious Council includes the religious leaders of all countries. I am the co-chair of the council. As far as I know, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill will visit Armenia soon. During the visit he will probably invite Garegin to the Baku summit. I do not see anything unusual in this invitation. I wish Garegin came to Baku and saw Azerbaijanâ€™s truths with his own eyes. But I do not think Garegin will attend the summit in Baku even if he is invited. Maybe events on the so-called Armenian genocide will be held in Armenia simultaneously with the summit in Baku,â€ he said.
