Azerbaijani foreign minister declares growing threats to Islamic world

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov has pointed to the expanding range of threats to the Islamic world.


"Alas, we cannot declare a significant improvement of the situation around the Islamic world. Quite the opposite - the range of threats encountered by the Islamic world has been growing," Mammadyarov said at the 13th summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers in Istanbul.


He said Baku was concerned about escalating confrontations in various parts of the planet.


"Azerbaijan has profound concern not only about the destruction of cities and the extermination of the civilian population but also about consequences of the wars, including long-term humanitarian and migration crises and military conflicts ongoing in a number of states," Mammadyarov said.
