Azerbaijan, Baku, May 7 /Trend T.Jafarov /
Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohsen Pak Ayin criticized the destruction of the grave of Hujr ibn Adi, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad in Syria, the Iranian embassy told Trend on Monday.
According to Ambassador, the countries sponsoring terrorism under the guise of supporting democracy, have to answer for contempt shown towards the Muslim shrines, in particular in respect of Hujr ibn Adi' grave.
Expressing concern over the lack of respect towards religious shrines in Syria, Pak Ayin noted that such actions also contradict with the international standards and laws.
The ambassador urged Muslim and other peace-loving countries and international organizations to condemn the acts contradicting with the humanity.
