By Elena Kosolapova - Trend:

The 7th Global Forum of the UN Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) which took place in Baku on April 25- 27 was held in the conditions when the world needs a dialog and intercultural communication and Baku demonstrated that this is a very good venue for such a dialog, Sevil Mikayilova, editor-in-chief of Azernews newspaper, said at the Baku International Policy and Security Network think tank discussions.

Mikayilova noted that earlier Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev said that Azerbaijan is not just geographically bridge Europe and Asia but it is also a cultural bridge connecting these two continents.

She noted that the Forum gave an equal opportunity for all ethnicities, religions and nations to come and represent themselves and to voice their opinions about the global challenges.

And from this point of view it was really important and that the UN high representatives sent there an important message saying that the youth should not be involved in dangerous tendencies of the world, Mikayilova said.

She noted that the forum gave very important messages to the world urging to stop conflicts, violence and terror.

Mikayilova also stressed that this is very important that the Global Forum of the UN Alliance of Civilizations was held in a Muslim country. She noted that Azerbaijan has already hosted many forums, and tolerance, multiculturalism and protection of the multi confessional society were the main agenda of every forum.
