Lebanese minister praises Azerbaijan`s contribution to intercultural dialogue

Azerbaijani ambassador to Syria and Lebanon Mahir Aliyev on Thursday met Lebanese Minister of Culture Gaby Layoun to discuss prospects for cooperation between the two countries.

They exchanged views on the second World Forum of Intercultural Dialogue to be held in Baku May 29-June 1.

Ambassador Aliyev stressed the significance of the Forum supported by the Azerbaijani President, as well as UNESCO, ISESCO, the Council of Europe and UN.

He said for the first time a conference of the East-West Ministers of Culture will be held on the sidelines of the forum.

The Lebanese minister praised Azerbaijan`s contribution to developing the intercultural dialogue.

The Azerbaijani ambassador briefed the Lebanese minister on the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as history of the Armenian migration to the Caucasus, particularly Azerbaijan.

Minister Layoun said double standards applied against Azerbaijan on the international scale caused concern.
