Holding humanitarian forums allows people from various countries, representatives of different confessions with divergent opinions, to hear and understand each other, Russia’s former Culture Minister Mikhail Shvydkoy told reporters on September 29 in Baku.

Shvydkoy is participating in the V Baku International Humanitarian Forum, which kicked off Sept. 29 in Azerbaijan’s capital.

He also said that holding humanitarian forums, in any case, calls on various parties to the dialogue.

“Today all the conflicts and wars are born in people’s minds,” he noted. “Therefore, humanitarian forums are very important: influential people of different faiths from various countries gather here, and they, at least, call on for dialogue.”

“Today, the forum touched upon very important issues, including not only the issue of multiculturalism and interconfessional problems, but also issues related to medicine, ecology and others,” noted Shvydkoy. “As a result, this allows establishing a dialogue in order to prevent major problems.”

The Baku International Humanitarian Forum is an annual platform for famous representatives of political, scientific and cultural elite of the world community, including famous statesmen, Nobel Prize winners in various fields of science and leaders of influential international organizations for holding dialogues, discussions and exchange of views on a wide range of global issues in the interest of all humanity.
