    205 MEMBERS OF IRANIAN PARLIAMENT ACCUSE AZERBAIJAN OF
    ENCROACHMENT ON ISLAM

    Last week, a Baku court sentenced the editor and the
    journalist of "Sanat" newspaper to two months of
    imprisonment for the article that criticized the
    Islamic values and stated that Islam arouses
    aggression among the people. Moreover, the 209 members
    of the Islamic Parliament of Iran made a joint
    statement in which they condemned Azerbaijan for the
    encroachment on Islam and called for the international
    organizations to avert such cases."

    According to IRNA agency, 209 members of the
    parliament stated that it was much worse to see such
    cases of encroachment on Islam in an Islamic state
    like the Republic of Azerbaijan is, taking into
    account the recent cases of encroachments on Islam in
    the West and the humiliating statements made by the
    Pope of Rome.

    The parliament members emphasized that the Zionist
    representatives have penetrated the Azeri printed
    press, they also condemned the Azeri authorities for
    not resisting the enemies of Islam. At the same time,
    they demanded that the Foreign Ministry of the Islamic
    republic of Iran should warn the Republic of
    Azerbaijan against the repetition of encroachment
    cases on Islam.
