[Presenter] The sheikh of the Caucasus, Haci Allahsukur Pasazada,
has criticized member countries of the Organization of the Islamic
Conference [OIC] for their indifference to the Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict. The sheikh said that otherwise Lebanon would not have been
subjected to Israel’s aggression.
[Pasazada, speaking over phone] The issues of Karabakh, Lebanon
and Palestinians were raised. All issues that we were interested
in were raised. I spoke and said that troops should withdraw from
Lebanon without preconditions, territories should be liberated and
negotiations should start. I also put forward suggestions.
As far as the Karabakh issue is concerned, I told them once again that
if you had supported me on time, there would have been no problem in
Lebanon. We say brothers, we are all brothers. But if we had supported
each other through difficult times, Armenia would not have attacked
us. If they had supported us when Armenia occupied our lands, no-one
would have attacked Lebanon today.
[Presenter] The sheikh of the Caucasus, Haci Allahsukur Pasazada,
said this in his speech at an international conference of religious
leaders of OIC member countries in Tehran.
In line with instructions from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev,
Azerbaijan has sent aid to Lebanon which has been subjected to Israel’s
aggression, Emergencies Minister Kamaladdin Heydarov has said.
Nearly 1,000 people were killed in Lebanon during 26 days of the
conflict.
