Throughout the years of occupation in Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur, our mosques, our Islamic cultural heritage were a subject of complete destruction by Armenia — even the pigs were put inside of the mosques."

“We are not taking it as a sign of revenge, but it's our history and our heritage and we cannot forget that;" he added.

“My country is one of the first places of Zoroastrianism."
"It’s also one of the first places of Christianity since the fourth century: Christianity was adopted by the (Caucasian) Kingdom of Albania as an official religion,” while Azerbaijan was "also one of the first countries that adopted Islam.”

currently, three religions — Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, with mosques, churches, and synagogues — are side by side” in Azerbaijan.

“Now we won the war, but we are also winning in peace which is an uphill struggle,”

Armenian government and Armenian leadership should work to prepare their people for the peace.

The European Parliament is adopting resolutions and decisions, and undermining the agenda of peace of our region,"

[Hikmet Hajiyev @HikmetHajiyev]

At the Arab Media Forum, I spoke about the ancient Kingdom of Caucasian Albania and its rich Christian heritage, whose enduring and particularly significant footprint can be seen in Karabakh and other parts of Azerbaijan.

I highlighted Azerbaijan’s centuries-old tradition of multiculturalism and religious coexistence, as well as our country’s commitment to protecting, preserving and restoring its rich cultural and religious heritage, irrespective of its origin or faith.

I also addressed the extensive destruction, desecration and alteration of Azerbaijan’s religious and cultural heritage during the years of occupation, stressing the importance of safeguarding historical truth and preserving cultural heritage for future generations.

The panel I shared with the Foreign Minister of Georgia and Minister of Economy and Tourism of UAE and moderated by CEO of Euronews.

1 Avqust - Azərbaycan Əlifbası və Azərbaycan Dili Günüdür.

Ana dilimiz milli kimliyimizin, dövlətçiliyimizin və mədəni irsimizin əsas dayaqlarından biridir. Dilimizi qorumaq, zənginləşdirmək və gələcək nəsillərə saf şəkildə ötürmək hər birimizin məsuliyyətidir.

Sizə cansağlığı arzulayıram ki, xoşbəxt yaşayasınız. Dərd-bəla olmasın bundan sonra, uşaqları yaxşı böyüdəsiniz, vətənpərvərlik ruhunda. Azərbaycan xalqına, dövlətinə ürəklərində sevgi ilə böyüsünlər. Lazım olanda, - inanıram ki, daha lazım olmayacaq, - amma lazım olanda hamı bilməlidir ki, “Dəmir yumruq” yerindədir və yerində olacaq.

The Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan, Hikmat Hajiyev has slammed the latest European Parliament resolution as a 'diplomatic disgrace', warning it risks undermining fragile peace efforts between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Speaking in Khankendi, he said the move is provocative and could derail ongoing normalisation, despite what he described as Azerbaijan’s continued push for stability and regional cooperation.

Turkic World is our Family!!! Budapeşt Meeting of diplomatic assistants of Organization of Turkic States!!!

[Hikmet Hajiyev @HikmetHajiyev]

At the invitation of the Hungarian side, a successful meeting was held in Budapest within the framework of the Organization of Turkic States at the level of assistants to the heads of state and government. During the meeting, the outcomes of the Gabala Summit of the OTS were reviewed, and, with reference to Azerbaijan’s chairmanship priorities, the importance of cooperation in the field of security was emphasized in the context of current global challenges.

As President Ilham Aliyev has emphasized in previous OTS Summits, the Turkic world—through its young demography, rich natural resources, energy potential, and strategic geopolitical position, including key transport routes—holds significant place in the Eurasian continent and the OTS has evolved into an important geopolitical center.
