The International Eurasia Press Fund (IEPF) recently hosted special guests: Jannah Scott, who leads the American Center for Religious Freedom, and Adnan Khan, head of the Pakistan Council in the United States. They came together to talk about important things like freedom of religion and understanding different cultures.
Umud Mirzayev, the president of IEPF, greeted them warmly. He talked about why it's important to share true information, especially in places like Azerbaijan, the Caucasus, and countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. He also mentioned that IEPF is a big deal because it's part of the UN.
Adnan Khan praised IEPF's work and thanked Mr.Mirzayev for what he's doing. Jannah Scott also liked what IEPF is doing. She said it's important to respect all religions and cultures and pass on good things to the next generation. Mrs. Scott remarked, "I'm really inspired to be here today. We live in a time where everything is happening very fast. We have to change our way of thinking. It will not just be secular humanism, but we must take it from the spirit that is alive within each of us, regardless of your faith tradition, your belief system. We all have a soul, we must take the power of the soul together."
They also talked about plans to make Azerbaijan a good example of different cultures living together peacefully. Jannah Scott had been to Azerbaijan before, so she already knew Mr.Mirzayev.
They ended the meeting with a group photo, showing that they're all working together to make the world a better place. This meeting is a step towards more teamwork to make sure everyone can practice their religion freely and understand each other better.
