“A unique feature of Israeli-Azerbaijani relations is Baku’s active promotion of religious freedom. Unlike many other Muslim-majority countries, Azerbaijan guarantees full freedom of worship for all religious minorities, including Jews and Christians. It was also the first Muslim-majority nation to incorporate formal education on combating antisemitism into its national school curriculum. Furthermore, the Azerbaijani government has undertaken efforts to preserve synagogues and churches, underscoring its commitment to safeguarding religious heritage,” notes an article published by Elaph, a media outlet closely aligned with the Saudi monarchy.
