Amman, 15 Nov 07

Two Azerbaijani travelers arrived here on-foot today en-route to Makkah in Saudi Arabia for performing this year's Hajj rituals.

The travelers, Shahid Gorbatov and Sahib Kazimov, said today at a press conference in Amman that their tour of a number of countries is aimed at shedding light on the situation of the Muslims in Azerbaijan and cementing cooperation with various nations.

The travelers said they started their trip three months ago from Azerbaijan. They have so far visited Iran, Turkey and Syria. They are now in Jordan from where they will proceed to Saudi Arabia for Hajj purposes.
