The rally was held on the village’s Imam Huseyn Square, and was
presided over by Haci Atamali, the head of the village mosque.

wanted to keep the Muslim world under control.

inappropriate. Karimov said that the liberation of Muslim lands
[reference to the Azerbaijani breakaway region of Nagornyy Karabakh]
lies through the liberation of Quds [Jerusalem].

to Israeli and Armenian flags.
