Chairman of the Caucasus Muslims Department (CMD), Sheikh-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazadeh sent a letter to US President Donald Trump, urging him to lift sanctions from Iran, Turan reported. 

“The grace of the Almighty Creator lies in the fact that, despite crises, confrontations and conflicts, there are eternal values ​​that do not allow our world to fall into the abyss.

Among them is the peaceful coexistence of people of different nationalities, religions, a culture of understanding. It is no coincidence that our holy books, the Torah, the Bible and the Qur'an, urge us all to be merciful and compassionate for the sake of humanity, regardless of our faith,” Pashazadeh notes.

At a time when the world is experiencing difficulties and struggling with coronavirus, human solidarity and the ideals of humanism are more important than ever.

“Today, during the global viral catastrophe, the inhabitants of neighboring Iran are deprived of the most necessary medical, food and material assistance, while older people and children are left to die in the face of a merciless disease. The Iranian people are on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe.

We ask you to decide on the suspension of sanctions against Iran in the name of humanism and human solidarity, introduce a moratorium on all prohibitions and restrictions during the pandemic, and save the Iranian people from isolation and crisis,” Pashazadeh notes.
