Saudi Deputy Minister: The occupied territories of Azerbaijan must be liberated unconditionally

Chairman of the Azerbaijan’s State Committee for Work with Religious Associations Hidayat Orujov met with Saudi Arabian Under Secretary of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da’wah and Guidance Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Ammar and Saudi Ambassador to Azerbaijan Fahad bin Ali Al-Dawsari, press service of the State Committee said.

Orujov said Azerbaijan has high-level relations with all Muslim countries and Saudi Arabia, which is a center of our religion, has a special status in these relations because.

Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Ammar expressed satisfaction with the friendly and brotherly relations and said the conflicts within the Islamic world were caused by the case when one side considered itself fair and opposite side as outsider of the religion. “It is not correct to call the person, who prays towards Kaaba and recognizes Allah as the only God, a non-Muslim. This is one of the main principles of Islam”.

Hidayat Orujov noted that the Islamic world needs in unity today. He reminded that Armenians occupied Azerbaijani lands for 20 years and four resolutions of the UN Security Council have not been fulfilled yet.

“Armenian vandals destroyed tombs, mosques, all Islamic shrines in the occupied territories and it is strange that all of these vandalism acts were committed in the end of 20th and beginning of 21st centuries before the eyes of the countries, which speak about the civilization and justice and don’t call the aggressors with their name”.

Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Ammar said Saudi Arabia has unchanged and univocal position on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. He said the occupied territories of Azerbaijan must be liberated unconditionally because it is a right of Azerbaijan and truth will triumph”.
