President Ilham Aliyev congratulated the Jewish community of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the Jewish holiday - Rosh Hashanah.
"Located at the crossroads of civilizations, Azerbaijan is one of the most unique places with ethnic cultural traditions and cultural diversity in the tradition of multiculturalism, with an atmosphere of mutual respect, and trust between different religions and cultures.
Traditionally friendly and fraternal relations are between peoples, civil solidarity, exemplary tolerance, and the Jewish community has its own special place. With a sense of satisfaction I want to note that Jewish people actively participate in the socio-political and cultural life of our country, which is currently experiencing a period of great development and progress, demonstrating an active role in the process of building the rule of law," reads the congratulatory letter.—06D-
