The Archimandrite said tolerance in Azerbaijani society has bred a unique atmosphere in the country, which the international community now finds can serve an example of multiculturalism, representing the most optimal form of coexistence of peoples in multi-ethnic countries.
‘The Azerbaijani government pays special attention to cultural diversity in society and acts as a guarantor of rights and freedoms for every citizen, regardless of religious and national affiliation.
Our unfriends are restless of Azerbaijan’s achievements, the complete restoration of territorial integrity, the unity among society and several other positive factors. These are the enemies, who are interested in weakening our political position and the country’s leading role in South Caucasus. They have been making attempts to portray Azerbaijan’s success in liberating its own territories as a conflict between Pan-Turkic forces and Christians. But anyone familiar with the political realities in the region understands that the statement voiced by the US department of State earlier in January this year sounds utterly unconvincing and biased. Still, I am confident that this will not prevent Azerbaijan from moving forward, cementing its political and economic strength, consolidating public and civic institutions, and setting an example of interreligious and interethnic relations’, he said.
