Armenian, Azeri youth should be brought up as neighbors: top cleric

Armenian and Azerbaijani youth should be educated with the understanding that the two peoples will be neighbors and will live next to each other, Allahshukur Pashazade, leader of Muslims of Azerbaijan, head of Muslims of the Caucasus said on Friday, September 8.

Pashazade was meeting with Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow in the Russian capital.

"We should not meet for the sake of meeting. We should meet to ensure that we have the opportunity to address the leadership of our countries so that they do everything possible to prevent conflict," Pashazade said.

"Neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan will ever leave these territories, so they must live side by side, and the youth should be brought up in this spirit."
