BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 5. The Caucasus Muslim
Board (CMB) has issued a statement on the August 4 incident related
to the attack on the building of the Azerbaijani Embassy in the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the CMB told
Trend.
According to the statement, the CMB resolutely condemns this
pre-arranged terrorist act pursuing political goals. This incident
is a provocation against Azerbaijan and the international law
overall. The aggression by the Mahdi Army radical group, also known
as the Jaysh al-Mahdi (JAM), directed against the sovereignty and
attribute of independent Azerbaijan – the state flag – can be
considered as spiritual opportunism and an incitement to
hatred.
'Azerbaijan is one of the few countries with an atmosphere of
friendship, brotherhood, mutual understanding between religions and
confessions. The country is known for its great respect for the
national and spiritual values, and high attention to its religious
heritage and traditions. The Azerbaijani society is alien to
religious intolerance, radicalism, and xenophobia. Christians,
Jews, representatives of all peoples and religions along with
Muslims can freely perform their religious rituals in Azerbaijan.
The forces behind such provocations against our country should know
that Azerbaijan is not a place for extremist forces, and the
Azerbaijani believers will never succumb to these incidents,' the
statement said.
The CMB expressed hope for the UK government's soonest measures
on the matter.
'The hostile powers are well aware that Azerbaijan's victory
lies within its national and religious unity, that's why their
provocations are aimed particularly at this. All our achievements
are based on the values that we have historically preserved, and
Azerbaijan, relying on this heritage, will always achieve new
historical victories,' the board said.
