<p>No:122/20, The head of the Press Service Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Leyla Abdullayeva answers the question of the media to comment on the congratulatory message of the Prime Minister of Armenia to the leaders of several Muslim countries on the occasion of Ramadan</p>
Answer: Congratulations on the occasion of the Ramadan holiday, sent to the leaders of Muslim countries by the head of the country, which forcibly expelled hundreds of thousands of Muslims from their ancestral lands in Armenia, occupied Azerbaijani territories and subjected Azerbaijanis to ethnic cleansing in these territories, committed crimes against humanity directed against the Muslim civilian population, such as the Khojaly massacre, as well as looted and insulted Mosques and Islamic religious monuments in the occupied territories - this is the highest degree of hypocrisy shown by the leader of the aggressor state Armenia against Islam.
If the Prime Minister of Armenia had real intentions to show respect for Islamic faith and its values, he would, first of all, take steps to restore the fundamental rights of hundreds of thousands of Muslim Azerbaijanis expelled from their homes as a result of Armenian aggression. But N.Pashinyan’s provocative activity shows that he is far from such an approach.
We remind the occupying country of Armenia the resolutions on the aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan adopted every year within the framework of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) by the same countries to which the Prime Minister of Armenia sent congratulations. The Armenian leadership should demonstrate its so-called respect for the Islamic world and the Muslim population, not by making false appeals, but by fulfilling the requirements of the resolutions adopted by these Muslim countries.
