The event is attended by Chairman of the Board of the Center for Analysis of International Relations Farid Shafiyev, Professor of Public Law at the University of the French Riviera Christian Vallard, Azerbaijani MP Tural Ganjaliyev, founder and editor-in-chief of the French news portal "Musulmans en France", editor-in-chief of the Paris-based "La Gazette du Caucase" online newspaper Jean-Michel Brun, and others.
