(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 26 . The Azerbaijan
Institute of Theology fruitfully cooperates with both the trend News Agency and the
turkic.world media platform, the rector of the institute, Ph.D. in Theology Agil
Shirinov said today, trend reports.
Shirinov made the remark at the ceremony of signing a memorandum
of cooperation between the institute and turkic.world platform in
Baku.
“The memorandum will take our cooperation to a new level. It's
important in terms of representing the Institute of Theology in
society and using its potential. Religion is a matter of
spirituality, but, unfortunately, it's politicized, which for many
countries becomes a security issue,” Shirinov noted.
“The Islamic religion highlights universal human values. The
Holy Quran calls to realize the one God, responsibility before him.
However, we are faced with such interpretations of the Islamic
religion in the last century, which are not reflected either in the
Koran or in the hadiths [record of the words, actions, and the
silent approval of the Islamic prophet Muhammad as transmitted
through chains of narrators]. Here we see an external influence,”
he explained.
“In these interpretations, one can come across incitement to
hatred, and the detailed study shows that the roots of most of such
interpretations are in foreign countries. In this regard, the
correct message to the people of the Islamic religion is of great
importance,' the rector further said.
Shirinov emphasized the special importance of interaction with
the media.
'Among the media structures, I would like to especially note
trend News Agency,
which attaches great importance to the provision of objective news.
At the same time, the agency plays a special role in promoting
Azerbaijan abroad. It's gratifying that the trend News Agency and the
Albayrak Media Group have established the turkic.world media
platform developing ties with brotherly media countries,” he also
noted.
“Cultural and economic ties in the Turkic world are very
important for us. I'm sure that ties in the Turkic world will be
strengthened even more. We felt its moral support also in the 2020
second Karabakh war. Platforms like turkic.world go a long way in strengthening
these ties,' added the rector.
