The Assembly of Azerbaijani Armenians strongly oppose to the visit of Caucasus Muslims board head Sheikh-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazade to Armenia.

“This visit is inadmissible, as Pashazade was one of the instigators of Armenian pogroms in Baku,” Assembly chairman Grigory Aivazyan said.

As PanARMENIAN.Net reported earlier, Russian Orthodox Church is taking preparations to arrange the visit of Allahshukur Pashazade, Sheikh ul-Islam and Grand Mufti of the Caucasus to Armenia. According to the director of the Center for Geography of Religions, Roman Silantyev, the visit is planned in the framework of Yerevan-hosted CIS interreligious council panel due November 28.
