Azerbaijan pretends to the "example of tolerance" title. "Azerbaijan is
an example to the world in the religious and ethnic tolerance",
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a general
press-conference of UNESCO in Paris.

The minister cited the Baku conference "Dialogue between the West and
Islam" as a confirmation of his pretensions to the "example" title.
Moreover, the minister told about the reforms and special programmes
being implemented in Azerbaijan in the educational sphere.

Elmar Mammadyarov did not let slip the chance to claim again "about the
damage caused to Azerbaijan as a result of occupation of part of
territories by Armenia and emphasized necessity of drawing the UNESCO’s
attention to this fact". However, AR FM did not mention the Armenian
pogroms in Azerbaijan.
