During the occupation, Armenia deliberately destroyed Azerbaijani villages and towns, all cultural and religious monuments in the occupied territories. Our mosques have become places where pigs and cows are kept. Photos and videos of all this are available on the Internet. This is hostility to the entire Islamic world. The facts of deliberate destruction and insult of the cultural and religious heritage of the Azerbaijani people were covered by the international media.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during his speech at the 14th online summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization on March 4.

"Armenia's attempts to expand relations with Muslim countries, which offend the feelings of all Muslims, are nothing but hypocrisy. Azerbaijan has made valuable contributions to solidarity among Muslim countries. We have called on Islamic countries from various international forums to unite. We must fight against Islam and promote the true values ​​of Islam - peace, tolerance, and justice. In this sense, we welcome the decision of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to declare March 15 the International Day against Islamophobia at the initiative of brotherly Pakistan," he said.
