Religious tolerance is a key feature of Azerbaijan and a source of pride for all Azerbaijanis, regardless of their ethnic origin or religion.
As Day.Az reports, Special Representative of the President of Azerbaijan for Special Assignments Elchin Amirbekov stated this in an interview with writer and historian Carlo Marino.
“Azerbaijan is recognized by both East and West as a natural platform for the necessary intercultural and interreligious dialogue and interaction. Baku has already become one of the leading international platforms for holding significant events, such as summits, global forums and conferences aimed at promoting and developing dialogue between cultures and religions,” he emphasized.
Amirbekov also noted that this aspect helps to strengthen cooperation between Azerbaijan and the Holy See, and can serve as an example for other states.
“For decades, Azerbaijan has been actively engaged in charitable projects aimed at preserving the world’s cultural and religious heritage, which is an important component of our bilateral relations. This also testifies to the deep trust and mutual respect between Azerbaijan and the Holy See,” added Elchin Amirbekov.
