Azerbaijani president receives Iran’s interior minister
Ramiz Mikayiloghlu – APA. “I’m amazed by
the rich culture of the Azerbaijani people,” said Pope Francis during the
meeting with representatives of the Azerbaijani government, public and
diplomatic corps at
the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku Oct. 2.
According to him, every ethnic or ideological identity, as with
every authentic religious path, must exclude attitudes and approaches which
instrumentalize their own convictions, their own identity or the name of God in
order to legitimize subjugation and supremacy.
Speaking about the ongoing conflicts around the world, the Pope
said there is a need to promote a culture of peace in order to effectively
oppose these dangerous deviations.
“For such a dialogue, we should be patient about anything. Just as
within a country’s borders it is necessary to promote harmony among the various
sectors, so too between states it is necessary to persevere wisely and
courageously on the path which leads to authentic progress and the freedom of
peoples, opening up new avenues that lead to lasting agreements and peace. I
hope that the international community may be able to offer unfailingly its
indispensable help. I am confident that, with the help of God, and the good
will of those involved, theCaucasus will be a place where, through
dialogue and negotiation, disputes and differences will be resolved and
overcome. By such means, this area – “a gateway between East and West”,
in the beautiful image used by Saint John Paul II when he visited your country
will also become a gateway open to peace, and an example to which we can look
to solve old and new conflicts,” said the Pope.
Baku-APA. The Turkish prime minister accused
the Fetullah Terrorist Organization, or FETO, of perpetrating rumors of a
possibility of second coup attempt, APAreports quoting AA.
“There will be a new [coup] attempt, it will
be tonight, [they] will come tomorrow… Those are a pack of lies to create
unrest in the society,” Binali Yildirim said, accusing Fetullah Terrorist
Organization, or FETO of being behind the rumors.
Speaking to reporters during a reception to
mark the new legislative term of the Turkish parliament, Yildirim said that the
government was taking all the necessary measures to prevent any such attempt.
Yildirim's remarks came after several media
reports claimed that the government feared a second coup attempt.
He said those who would try to plot another
coup attempt would pay a price higher than those who organized the one on July
15.
Turkey’s government blames FETO for the deadly
July 15 defeated coup in the country. At least 241 people were martyred in the
failed coup, which the
government has said was organized by followers
of Fethullah Gulen, the head of FETO.
Gulen is accused of leading a long-running campaign to overthrow the Turkish
government through the infiltration of state institutions, particularly the
military, police, and judiciary, forming what is commonly known as the parallel
state.
