"The Orthodox community in Azerbaijan is an important factor in interstate relations. I am sure that, like all of us, they will be very pleased with your visit. In our comprehensive exchange on this issue, we spoke about the interfaith and interethnic peace, understanding, and mutual support in Azerbaijan," said President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia on May 3, APA reports.
"This is an important factor in the sustainable development of our countries. Otherwise, there can be no talk of any development. We are very glad that the Orthodox community, as representatives of the Russian community, actively participates in the development of our country, contributing to its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and together with all other representatives of the numerous peoples living in Azerbaijan, makes a great contribution to the overall development of our country," said President Ilham Aliyev.
