We should be setting an example of peaceful co-existence, tolerance, mutual understanding and friendly relations,” - Sultan Mirzaev emphasized. He added later: “All we should overcome cruelty and fanaticism born by the depreciation of friendship, family and human life. It is necessary to stop devaluation of human values.” A Document about interreligious cooperation development has been signed by the participants as a result of the world summit meeting of religious leaders.
