No Need to Worry about Fate of Christian Churches - I. Aliyev
Baku / 24.11.20 / Turan: The head of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, urged not to worry about the fate of Christian churches in the territories in Karabakh that have passed and come under the control of Baku, stressing that they are all the country's historical heritage. He stated this on November 23 in front of the Aghdam mosque, liberated from the Armenian occupation the day before.
“Today, after the end of the war, some Western leaders are raising the issue of what will happen to Christian churches in the lands that have come under the control of Azerbaijan, express concern both during conversations with me and in official statements. Let no one worry, especially the leaders of the Western states that incite Islamophobia, turn a blind eye to the desecration of Islamic shrines and even justify those who commit it. All churches in our territories are our historical heritage," Aliyev said.
The President of Azerbaijan stressed that all historical monuments in the country are protected by the state. Emphasizing that some of the Christian churches are not Armenian, he said these are Albanian and Orthodox churches. -02D-
