Pope looks back on his trip to Azerbaijan in his General Audience

He said "this visit complemented my visit to Armenia in June, and fulfilled my desire to visit all three nations of the Caucasus,” according to Rome Reports.

The pope emphasized that this region is undergoing historic changes, and that "the Catholic Church must be close to them” during this process. He also highlighted the importance of dialogue with "our Orthodox brothers” and with Muslims. Catholics are a minority in both countries.
