It is gratifying that the relations between Azerbaijan and the Holy See, based on mutual respect and understanding, are developing on an upward trajectory and gaining new content day by day. These relations serve the promotion of interreligious harmony and cultural diversity in the world, as well as goodwill intentions such as creating an environment of mutual trust between civilizations.
“Elchi” reports that these thoughts were included in the congratulatory letter sent by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev to Pope Francis on the occasion of his Coronation Day.
The head of state noted that in Azerbaijan, which is known as one of the addresses of multiculturalism in the world, ethnic and religious diversity is protected as a national treasure, and equal conditions are created for all confessions.
“We are proud that Azerbaijan is a place where people belonging to different religions and beliefs live in an atmosphere of kindness and mutual understanding,” President Ilham Aliyev emphasized in his letter.
