He noted that multicultural security is based on principles that promote the development of a society, which is independent of all prejudices and beliefs.

"The main one of these principles is the creation of absolute equality between different confessions and representatives of any religions. It is very important that absolute equality is established in our country for its citizens, including religious, political, social, cultural and other equality. Such an approach contributes to strengthening multicultural security, which is one of the constituent parts of our country's state policy," said Abdullah.

As the professor noted, this is the reason why Azerbaijan is seen in the region and the world as an island of stability and a guarantor of security for residents of all faiths and ethnic groups. "Caring approach to the cultural values ​​of various ethnic groups, respect for their culture - all these things contributed to the growing image of Azerbaijan as a country committed to high ideas of multiculturalism," Abdulla concluded.
