Azerbaijani media nervously responded to the Armenian MFA's report on
the meeting of Armenia's Consul General Karen Grigoryan with Syria's
Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ahmad Badr Al-Din Hassoun in Aleppo. Azerbaijan
was particularly indignant at the following statement by the Sheikh:
"people's will, not religion is behind the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."
Azerbaijani media seriously criticized the Grand Mufti of Syria,
who, they think, due to Islamic solidarity, should have supported
Azerbaijan, not Christian Armenia. More, Vesti.az appealed to
Azerbaijan's Embassy in Syria, but the Embassy's response did not
satisfy the reporters either.
"Regarding the Sheikh's statement, we assess it positively, because
he said that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not religious, and
we always repeat this. As to people's will, we think he meant the
Armenian people, and we see nothing surprising about it," an official
at Azerbaijan's Embassy in Syria said.
