Peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is of crucial
importance to the Azerbaijani people and all Muslims, Chairman of
the Caucasian Muslims Office (CMO), Sheikh-ul-Islam Haji Allahshukur
Pashazade said at the meeting with Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia
Cyril, ITAR-TASS reported.
The sides discussed prospects of interfaith cooperation throughout
the CIS today.
Pashazade paid tribute to the Patriarch's activities, stressing that
he has "great authority" "not only in the Russian Orthodox world,
but also in the Muslim".
Pashazade said he noted this at the recent summit on the 50th
anniversary of the League of Arab States held in Saudi Arabia. "Our
joint work in this direction is evaluated not only in the religious
world, but also by the leaders of nations. Not only the leaders of CIS
countries, but also other states' leaders want to join our dialogue,"
he said.
"I am personally grateful for the support to our ideas on resolution
of the Karabakh problem by peaceful means. It is very important for
our people and our Muslims," Pashazade stressed. He highlighted the
importance of the fact that the Catholicos of all Armenians took part
in the World Religious Summit in Baku.
"Sign of great love for your personality is that my closest friends
and my son attend today's meeting. You will remain a great friend of
our people, our Muslims, and it is very important for resolution of
problems that we may face in the future," Pashazade said.
"The relations between the Orthodox and Muslims, between
representatives of different religions, including the CIS, always
remain the focus of our meetings. I hope that this time also we will
talk about our plans for joint activities in Russia, Azerbaijan, the
Caucasus and the CIS," Cyril said at the beginning of the meeting,
which took place in his working residence in Moscow.
He thanked Pashazade for the great work he is doing "as the supreme
Islamic leader of the Caucasus, as a man who has very great authority
in the Islamic world."
"Inter-religious peace not only in Azerbaijan, but also in entire
CIS largely depends on your words and life position," Cyril said.
He recalled the successful holding of the World Summit of Religious
Leaders in Baku in April.
"This meeting had a great positive impact on the work of the
CIS Inter-religious Council and also provided an opportunity to
transfer inter-religious dialogue from the purely religious to the
religious-state level," Cyril added.
