Representatives of religious denominations operating in Azerbaijan have visited the Sugovushan settlement and Talish village liberated from Armenian occupation. The visit was organized by the State Committee on Affairs with Religious Associations of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The representatives toured the Alban temples in the Sugovushan settlement and Talish village in celebration of Easter, during which religious rituals were performed, and holiday prayers were recited.

A festive table was set up in the courtyard of the temple in Talish village, featuring kulich and other festive treats, along with musical performances. In a striking example of tolerance, Muslims also participated in the celebration alongside Christians.

Sayavush Heydarov, Deputy Chairman of the State Committee on Affairs with Religious Associations, stated in an interview with AZERTAG: “Today, on the eve of Easter, our gathering with members of various religious denominations and communities is once again a clear demonstration of religious solidarity and harmony in Azerbaijan. This is a lifestyle in Azerbaijan. Representatives of all religious communities in the country coexist as one family. This is our national treasure. It is our collective responsibility to preserve this treasure, strengthen it, and pass it on to future generations. Through this example of unity and solidarity, Azerbaijan presents a model of peace to the world.”.
