Azerbaijan among the top five most tolerant countries in the world
The International Day of Tolerance, tourist website VeniVidi published a list of the five states that are distinguished by their respect for the views and way of life of its citizens as well as foreign visitors.

Azerbaijan, which occupies the fifth place in the ranking of the site, is named an example of religious tolerance, which was ahead of not only Asian, but most European countries in the level of tolerance.

"The country, 95 percent of the population of which is Muslim, was able to secure a peaceful and comfortable accommodation of people of other faiths and nationalities and earned praise from the vice-president of the European Parliament.

The model of tolerance in Azerbaijan today is considered a model for the Muslim world and is actively being discussed at many international conferences and forums," said the statement.

The article says that Azerbaijan`s leadership believes that people, regardless of religion, are obliged to respect all other cultures, religions, moral values and be tolerant to any tradition, whether it is acceptable for them or not.
