Chairwoman of Parliament’s Commission: "Concerns that the number of religious group members might increase and pose a threat to the country are groundless"

She said it was not right to treat the activity of the religious groups with fear.

Rabiyyat Aslanova said there was no ground to worry that the number of a religious group members might increase and pose a threat to the country.

"There has never been a religious confrontation in Azerbaijan," she said.

Touching upon the explosion in Abu Bakr Mosque Rabiyyat Aslanova regarded it as disrespect to the religious men.

"The offender should be found," she said.

As regards re-adopting or changing the law on "Freedom of Religion", the Chairwoman of the Commission said there was no need for it.

"The items in this law ensure normal activity of religious communities in Azerbaijan," she said.
