According to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Islamophobia has become a state policy in some countries. He made such a statement in Ankara at the end of the fifth high-level meeting of the Azerbaijan-Turkey Strategic Cooperation Council.
At the same time, the head of state expressed his regret about the fact that many media organizations are conducting a targeted campaign against Islam, against Islamic culture and its traditions and customs.
"There is an attempt to tarnish, blacken Islam by identifying the religion with terrorism. This is intolerable. It may lead to inter-civilizational problems in the world. Today we can see the refugee crisis and the main burden falls on Turkey, which hosts millions of refugees, spending a lot of money. Being a country which has also suffered from this humanitarian tragedy, we know what it means,'' Trend cites him as saying.
