Şeyhül İslam Allahşükür Paşazade is a Revered Religious Leader of the Turkish World.

Dr. Akkan Suver made a statement regarding the misinterpreted statement of Caucasian Muslims and Azerbaijan Sheikhul Islam Allahshukur Pashazade at the Tezapir Mosque, emphasizing the importance of Turkey-Azerbaijan friendship. Marmara Group Foundation President Dr. Akkan Suver's explanation; The unfounded allegations about the speech of Şeyhül İslam Allahşükür Paşazade, which are caused by a misunderstanding and are made about him, are wrong and very unkind. This storm, which is intended to be broken in a glass of water, actually targets the unity of Turkey and Azerbaijan. It is unfortunate that Şeyhül Islam Allahşükür Paşazade, as a well-known and accepted figure, religious leader, not only in Azerbaijan but also in the Turkish World, is under such an accusation due to a misunderstanding. It is wrong to give credit to such news, which aim to play into the hands of those who are uncomfortable with the high unity that exists between Turkey and Azerbaijan. It is unnecessary. I would like to make a reminder here. Sheikhul Islam was among those who came to the funeral and stood in the forefront when our President's mother passed away to eternity. I would like to mention this here as an arrogance in terms of reflecting the sincere feelings of His Holiness Sheikh al-Islam towards our Honorable President. We must act responsibly and not allow misunderstandings. Because in these days when we are dealing with fires, we should serve the idea of how we can make the unity and solidarity of Turkey and Azerbaijan stronger and more efficient. Therefore, we must continue on our way without favoring and respecting misunderstandings.
