“In Africa, where I live, there are big problems with religious tolerance,” said Soyinka.
In different countries there are different groups, the purpose of which is to prosecute members of other religions, to keep them in awe, to restrict their freedom, he added.
“Being here in Azerbaijan, I am amazed at how people of different nationalities and religions coexist, communicate and respect each other,” noted Soyinka. “Such tolerance, such an attitude towards multiculturalism in Azerbaijan is inspiring me. I would like many countries to take the example of your country.”
