Traditional Humanitarian Forum opened in Baku
The Fifth International Humanitarian Forum, in which public figures are involved from dozens of countries and international organizations opened in Baku on Tuesday. This traditional event is held annually by the authorities of Azerbaijan, which discusses various topical issues of culture and politics. This is an attempt to organize a dialogue, an exchange of views on issues of global concern. The goal is to form a new humanitarian agenda for further discussion at the international level. Over the years, this event did not have any significant influence or role for the solution of certain problems of Azerbaijan and did not become an important international platform for discussion. -02D-
