Baku. Elbrus Seyfullayev - APA. The date of the summit of the world
religious leaders in Baku has been fixed, APA reports.
Chairman of Caucasian Muslims Office, sheikh-ul-islam Haji Allahshukur
Pashazadeh said Baku summit will be held on April 27-29. He said
holding such an event in Baku is of great importance.
"About 150 religious leaders will attend the event. Each of them
brings together millions of people in a state. 11 patriarchs from
the Catholic Church will attend the summit. The representatives of
the traditional religions will attend the summit," he said.
Allahshukur Pashazadeh did not exclude that Armenian Catholicos
Garegin II will be invited to the summit.
"CIS Interreligious Council includes the religious leaders of all
countries. I am the co-chair of the council. As far as I know,
Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill will visit Armenia soon.
During the visit he will probably invite Garegin to the Baku summit. I
do not see anything unusual in this invitation. I wish Garegin came to
Baku and saw Azerbaijan's truths with his own eyes. But I do not think
Garegin will attend the summit in Baku even if he is invited. Maybe
events on the so-called Armenian genocide will be held in Armenia
simultaneously with the summit in Baku," he said.
