"Our country's achievements and independent policy concern many," Chairman of the Caucasus Muslims Office (CMO), Sheikh-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazade, said at an event titled "Dialogue of Religions: A Roadmap to a Shared Future," held at the Heydar Aliyev Center as part of the 7th World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue in Baku, APA reports.
"We are capable of and ready to respond appropriately to all kinds of provocations directed from abroad, as well as attacks against our statehood, independence, and spirituality coming from outside our country's borders. Our people and religious believers are always vigilant against slander by malicious and treacherous forces from within our own ranks, any provocations, and ideological threats. Azerbaijan's religious believers take pride in our country's successes, including its achievements in the cultural, spiritual, and religious spheres, as well as the support and attention provided, and always commend the actions of the state and our head of state. Religious believers always stand by our state. Our way of life, recognized as a model by the international community, is a national treasure of independent Azerbaijan," he noted.
