Azerbaijan is one of the very few Muslim countries participating in European organizations, so we know what is happening there.

President Ilham Aliyev made the remarks during a meeting in Baku with participants of international conferences, Operativ Media reports.

"As a member of the Council of Europe, we have faced, are facing, and will likely continue to face these injustices," the head of state said, emphasizing that the undeclared smear campaign against the country will never stop. "Why? Because we do not and will not bow to anyone; we speak our mind, protect our national identity, and protect our way of life," the president emphasized.
