Sheikh-ul-Islam Haji Allahshukur Pashazadeh, who is Chairman of the Caucasian Muslim Board, has practically approved the waging of guerrilla warfare in Nagorno-Karabakh.  

Vadim Mamedaliev, who is Dean of the Faculty of Theology at Baku State University, stated that if the spiritual figures explain to the people the meaning of Muslims who die for lslam, no one would go to Syria, Oxu.az reported citing APA news agency of Azerbaijan.

“Why do we interfere in the affairs of a foreign country? If you consider yourself a hero, fight in Karabakh as a guerilla,” Mamedaliev specifically noted.

In turn, Allahshukur Pashazadeh noted that Mubariz Ibrahimov—who had died back in 2010 during an Azerbaijani diversionary operation against the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic—, for example, has reached the summit of dying for lslam.

“Had anyone ordered Mubariz Ibrahimov to fight? He was a volunteer fighter, and he died for Islam, for the Motherland,” the Azerbaijani spiritual leader stated.
