PRESIDENT ILHAM ALIYEV SENDS GREETINGS TO PARTICIPANTS IN THE CONFERENCE “DIALOGUE OF CIVILIZATIONS: ROLE OF POLITICAL PARTIES”
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has sent a message of greetings to participants in the Dialogue of Civilizations: Role of Political Parties conference started in Baku on Thursday.
“The very fact of holding such a conference in Azerbaijan located on the historic Silk Road has a deep symbolic meaning. For our country, which in the framework of large-scale projects provides communication and information corridor between Asia and Europe, this conference creates good opportunities for expansion of cooperation,” the message reads.
“With its geopolitical location connecting the East and the West, our country has managed to safeguard its historically high tolerance. From this standpoint, our historic past proves the fallaciousness of the idea that cultural factors create favorable ground for conflicts among civilizations.”
“Attended by representatives of different political elites your conference is praiseworthy for promoting expansion of relations between political parties and dealing with global and regional problems on the one hand and stimulating the dialogue among civilizations for safeguarding the universal values on our planet on the other one.”
The President wished the conference participants success in their work.
