"Since independence, Azerbaijan has rebuilt itself as a sovereign nation with a strong sense of identity and a deliberate commitment to religious coexistence. Jewish communities live openly and securely; synagogues function freely; Jewish culture is respected as part of the national fabric. In a region often scarred by sectarian conflict, this reality is neither accidental nor trivial. It is the fruit of a national ethos forged in suffering and tempered by memory," according to the Jewish Journal, one of the largest Jewish news outlets in the United States.
