"I am ready to mediate in the solution of the Middle East problems,
including the conflict between Israel and Lebanon if there is a need,
and I am offered to do that," Sheikulislam Haji Allahshukur Pashazadeh,
head of Office of Caucasian Muslims told journalists.

Stating that he is accepted by Sunnis and Shiites, Pashazadeh said
Israel has not asked him to help release captured Israeli soldiers.

"Israel did not take a right stance regarding this matter. It is not
Israel’s policy, official Tel Aviv was tricked," he underlined.

The religious leader also said Muslim states failed to demonstrate
solidarity adding even Arab states did not support Lebanon, APA
reports.

‘Muslims did not react to the invasion of Islamic states. They do not
show a serious reaction with regard to the resolution of the Nagorno
Karabakh problem. We must be prepared for jihad. If potential for
a peace agreement for the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh ends,
military way should be preferred," he said.
