Baku / 08.12.17 / Turan: The scandalous decision of the US President to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the transfer of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv caused a wave of outrage in the Islamic world and not only. This decision of President Trump was condemned by many European leaders, and by the UN Secretary General. Islamic figures around the world protested, calling for consolidated action. Against this background, the silence of the religious leaders of Azerbaijan is surprising.
Attempts of Turan to receive a comment in the Office of Muslims of the Caucasus and some religious figures, were futile.
For today, official Baku has confined itself to a meaningless comment by the press service of the Foreign Ministry. -02D-
