"We have always been proponents of solidarity among Islamic countries, and numerous events have been held in Azerbaijan in this direction. Our many initiatives have certainly been aimed at strengthening solidarity and mutual understanding," said President Ilham Aliyev.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that President Ilham Aliyev made these remarks during the opening of the 4th Shusha Global Media Forum.
The head of state noted: "Unfortunately, we do not see such great solidarity (Islamic solidarity - ed.) today. Tensions are rising, and mutual accusations are being voiced."
Azerbaijan has consistently positioned itself as a bridge between the Islamic world and the West, actively promoting intercultural and interreligious dialogue. The country has hosted major international events, including the Islamic Solidarity Games in 2017, which underscored Baku's commitment to fostering unity within the Muslim community. The Shusha Global Media Forum serves as a significant platform for discussing these geopolitical challenges and the role of media in promoting global stability.
