President Ilham Aliyev has addressed a letter of congratulations to the Jewish community of Azerbaijan.
Jnews.az reports that the letter reads:
«Dear compatriots!
I sincerely congratulate you on Rosh Hashanah, one of the significant holidays of the Jewish people, and extend my most heartfelt wishes.
Azerbaijan has historically been a meeting point of various civilizations, where exemplary social relations based on mutual respect, trust, friendship, and brotherhood among representatives of different peoples and faiths have been formed.
In modern Azerbaijan, democratic and legal conditions are guaranteed for fundamental human rights and freedoms for everyone, regardless of language, religion, or ethnic origin. Within the atmosphere of ethnic and religious tolerance that has prevailed in our society for centuries, the Jewish community, while preserving its national and spiritual values, language, and culture, actively participates in the socio-cultural life of our country as it experiences a period of great development and progress, making its unique contribution to strengthening civic solidarity.
On the occasion of Rosh Hashanah, which symbolizes renewal, spiritual purity, kindness, and solidarity, I once again convey my holiday greetings to each of you, wishing happiness to your families and abundance to your tables.
Happy holiday!»
