Allahshukur Pashazadeh: “The happenings in the mosque known as Abu Bakr are the result of the discord between two groupsâ€
“The whole world knows that Azerbaijan is a tolerant country. If there had been a problem in the religious field in Azerbaijan, such acts would have been committed against the representatives of other religions – Jews, Christians. Commitment of such an action by a Muslim against a Muslim is a rivalry and revenge. I reiterate that such an action had not been committed against the Christians or Jews living in Azerbaijan free,†he said.
Chairman of the Caucasian Muslims Office said the investigation was underway and it was difficult to say something concrete unless the investigation was over. Allahshukur Pashazadeh said he had sent his assistant to the site and was keeping the process under the control.
As regards further activity of the mosque, Sheikh said it was a place for prayer and would also function as a mosque in future.
