Baku. Kamala Guliyeva-APA. Chairman of Caucasian Muslims Office
Sheikh-al-Islam Allahshukur Pashazadeh addressed the head of Turkey's
Office of Religious Affairs Ali Bardakoglu, APA reports. `Recent
reports on the opening of Turkey-Armenia borders and restoration of
diplomatic relations between the two countries deeply concern the
Azerbaijani Muslims. The question is about the issue, which could have
decisive impact on the solution to Karabakh conflict, the vitally
important issue for every Azerbaijani Muslim. We have to express our
resolute and univocal position. Azerbaijan was proud of Turkey's
actions 16 years ago to close borders with Armenia in a protest
against false `genocide' claims and occupation of Karabakh by Armenia,
but now probability of the opening of borders makes Azerbaijan
regretful and aggrieved'.
Azerbaijan-Turkey friendship based not only on the diplomatic
relations, but on the unity of historic roots, religions, languages,
said Pashazadeh. The Azerbaijani People calls on Turkey, the leading
country of the Islamic world, historic defender of the Islamic values,
not to make such action and to continue its mission to be pride of
Turkic-Islamic world. `Our holy religion suggest to punish oppressor
and to struggle until the victory of justice. The Azerbaijani Muslims
believe that Azerbaijan and Turkey will defeat the oppression and
injustice together, to force the enemy to leave its accursed claims
and to end the occupation. Otherwise assisting the oppressors to avoid
the punishment will lead them to other crimes'.
