Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has urged citizens to remain vigilant, warning of continued hostility towards Azerbaijan among Armenian political forces.

Azerbaijan, located at the crossroads of different civilizations, has never experienced discrimination and conflict based on ethnicity and religion and has historically had progressive national, cultural, and religious relations based on mutual trust and respect,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in his letter to the participants of the Global Dialogue Forum organized by the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID) in Lisbon.
