5. Virtual round tables
The Baku International Multiculturalism Centre held five virtual round tables involving local and foreign experts in order to share with other countries Azerbaijan’s great experience of multiculturalism. The material of the round tables has been published in book form in Azerbaijani, Russian and English.
The aforementioned projects of Baku International Multiculturalism Centre help to make Azerbaijan’s international relations more effective.
As an important direction in the domestic policy of the Republic of Azerbaijan multiculturalism has a positive impact on the country’s foreign policy too. This can be seen first of all in the country’s increasing influence in the international arena. Azerbaijan’s achievements in multiculturalism are acknowledged by many countries. As President Aliyev said:
‘Today Azerbaijan is recognized as a centre of multiculturalism in the world. The rare role of Azerbaijan in the world is highly appreciated. Azerbaijan is a bridge between civilizations. Azerbaijan is a rare country from the geographical, political and other points of view. Our experience is studied.’
Foreign politicians have commented that the growing interest in Azerbaijan’s experience of multiculturalism has earned it the image of an exporter of tolerance as well as oil and gas.
