On December 24, 2025 the Baku Convention Center hosted the Second Forum of Azerbaijani Religious Figures under the theme “Constitutional Principles of State–Religion Relations in Azerbaijan: Secularism and Freedom of Conscience”, within the framework of the Year of Constitution and Sovereignty.
The forum brought together delegations from Türkiye, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, representatives of relevant state institutions, leaders of various religious denominations operating in the Republic of Azerbaijan, as well as faculty members of religious education institutions, theologians, and subject-matter experts.
The panel discussions focused on key priorities of state policy in the religious sphere, ensuring secularism and freedom of conscience, preserving multicultural values, and examining the role of religious communities in educating youth and women, with an extensive exchange of views on current and pressing issues.
The forum once again underscored the importance of developing state–religion relations in Azerbaijan on a strong constitutional foundation, promoting interfaith dialogue, and strengthening a culture of tolerance in society.
