BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 24. Azerbaijan is a
secular state, but it's also a country respecting religious
differences, Chairman of the State Committee on Affairs with
Religious Associations Ramin Mammadov said at the 2nd Forum of Azerbaijani Religious Leaders in Baku,
Trend reports.
"Our event today is not only a logical continuation of an
important tradition founded in 2024, but also a clear indicator of
the healthy and sustainable development of state-religion
relations," he pointed out.
According to Mammadov, President Ilham Aliyev's address to the
participants of last year's forum covered several important areas
due to its ideological content and conceptual essence.
"It's the strategic goals expressed in that address that have
guided our activities over the past year and inspired us to
organize today's Forum, as well as determined its agenda.
The past period has clearly shown that the goals highlighted by
President Ilham Aliyev are an excellent roadmap for systematic and
sustainable activities and should be the main benchmark in our
future steps.
One of the main messages conveyed by the address was that, along
with being a secular state, Azerbaijan is a country that respects
religious differences. Our homeland has historically been one of
the rare centers of spirituality where different civilizations
converged, where different ethnic groups and religions lived as one
family, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and love," he added.
