Sheikh ul-Islam Haji Allahshukur Hummat Pashazade, Grand Mufti of
Azerbaijan. Aykazian said he had an impression that the Grand Mufti
is a good man.
Archbishop Aykazian told Armenian Reporter's Emil Sanamian that he
thinks Pashazade is respected in Azerbaijan and left a an impression of
good man on him. He was very polite and cordial to the All Armenian
Catholicos Garegin II who was visiting Azerbaijan last week to
participate in an international religious summit.
While being the host of an important international religious conference
the spiritual leader of Azerbaijan left 100 guests and personally
accompanied the Catholicos of All Armenians to the airport.
This has left an impression of a humble and simple person on Aykazian.
The head of the Armenian Church Garegin II has invited the Grand
Mufti of Azerbaijan to visit Armenia and the latter's acceptance
of invitation is encouraging, which gives hopes that the dialogue
between Armenia and Azerbaijan will continue.
Aykazian, who is also the past president of the National Council
of Churches in the U.S. said he believe the religious leaders can
play a very positive role in solving the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
between Armenia and Azerbaijan. "The religious leaders may not have
the political power but they can influence those in power" he added.
