Accodring to him, in Africa, where he lives, there are big problems with religious tolerance. "In different countries there are different groups, the purpose of which is to prosecute members of other religions, to keep them in awe, to restrict their freedom. Being here in Azerbaijan, I am amazed at how people of different nationalities and religions coexist, communicate and respect each other,” Trend quoted him as saying. 

Recall that the Baku International Humanitarian Forum is an annual platform for famous representatives of political, science and culture elite of the world community, including famous statesmen, Nobel Prize winners in various fields of science and leaders of influential international organizations for holding dialogues, discussions and exchange of views on a wide range of global issues in the interests of all humanity.
