    Azeri chief cleric accuses Muslim countries of aiding Armenia

    ANS TV, Baku,
    2 Dec 04


    [Presenter] There are some Islamic countries among those rendering aid
    to Armenia, the head of the Spiritual Board of the Muslims of the
    Caucasus, Allahsukur Pasazada, told a press conference today.

    [Correspondent] Globalization has caused some debates in various
    countries. However, it has been decided that it should be accepted
    only on condition that local traditions are preserved, Pasazada
    said. Otherwise, the unrestricted penetration of globalization into
    the Islamic states will pose a threat to the future of small
    countries.

    As he has done during all his visits, Pasazada focused on the Karabakh
    conflict during this visit [to Libya and Jordan].

    [Pasazada, starts mid-sentence] To describe the Karabakh conflict, to
    explain to them where Armenia is, where Karabakh is and where the
    occupied territories are. Some countries are talking about Islam and
    helping Armenia. We told them openly that this should not happen.

    [Correspondent] After visiting Libya, Pasazada went to Jordan. In
    addition to the aforesaid topics, Pasazada discussed with the king of
    Jordan the opening of an Azerbaijani embassy there.

    At the end of the press conference, Pasazada floated the idea that
    except for two or three places, all 400 pilgrimage places in
    Azerbaijan must be closed.
