On the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we reaffirm our firm commitment to respect, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence among cultures and religions.

Axar.az reports, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a post on its X, noted that Islamophobia, discrimination, and hatred against individuals because of their faith undermine the very principles of human dignity, equality, and mutual understanding.

The ministry emphasized that "such prejudice has no place in our societies."

"Islam is rooted in values of peace, compassion, justice, and solidarity. Misrepresenting or stigmatizing Islam is unacceptable.

Combating intolerance in all its forms remains essential to building inclusive, peaceful, and resilient societies," the MFA stated.
