The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about Azerbaijani model of tolerance in the light of the Pope’s visit to Azerbaijan. The author calls Azerbaijan an example of religious tolerance.
"In your country religious freedom is fully secured,’ the author quotes the Pope. He believes the basis for the Pope's visit to Azerbaijan is the country's importance on a global scale and its leadership among the Muslim countries in terms of democracy, secularism and openness.
The author calls the Pontiff’s visit another victory of Ilham Aliyev’s diplomacy.
The website Azadliq.info writes about Azerbaijan's relations with the West, based on the opinion of a member of the Coordinating Center of the National Council Eldeniz Guliyev. He calls confrontation with the EU absurd and also warns that Azerbaijan may become a victim of the expansive policy of Russia and its unceasing imperial ambitions. Therefore, it is stupid to quarrel with Europe.
