«He (Hikmet Hajiyev) also stressed Azerbaijan’s longtime friendship and support of Israel despite regional sentiment against it. “The Abraham Accords [during Trump’s first term] started with Azerbaijan,” Hajiyev quipped because his country “established diplomatic relations with Israel in 1991. We are ready to spread the values of the Abraham Accords",» notes Townhall, a leading American conservative news outlet, in an article featuring an interview with Azerbaijan's presidential assistant, Hikmet Hajiyev.

"The country’s secular leadership also recognizes that they can’t just let radicalized clerics, particularly of the Shia variety, preach jihad unopposed.

It’s a place where Jews have lived largely unpersecuted for thousands of years, where Christian churches like Vineyard Church, which we visited, thrive, where it’s not uncommon to find Sunni and Shia muslims going to the same mosque," the article emphasizes.
