"Azerbaijan is one of the few countries where Shia and Sunni Muslims pray at the same time in the same mosque," said Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in his interview with Al Arabiya TV channel, APA reports.
"We do not divide them. And we think that the biggest threat to the Muslim world is sectarian division. And those who advocate such a division are doing the most harmful thing to the Muslim world. We must be united. We are Muslims, and for us, this is number one. We must remain absolutely free from any foreign interference. We have not only advocated for these values, but also had to protect ourselves ideologically from all kinds of penetration, from attempts to spread seeds of hatred among Muslims. This is highly valued in the Muslim world...," the President added.
