Message from Abulfas Karayev,
Minister of Culture and Tourism of the Azerbaijan Republic,
to the participants of the 2 nd International Conference
“Linguistic and Cultural Diversity in Cyberspace”
Esteemed conference participants, dear friends,
On behalf of Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism and my fellow
countrymen working in culture and the arts, I would like to greet all the
organizers, participants and guests of the 2 nd conference “Linguistic and
Cultural Diversity in Cyberspace”.
Computer information systems have become part and parcel of modern life
while cultural and linguistic diversity, which makes our life so much richer, is
a top priority on today’s agenda. Linguistic and cultural diversity on the Web
gives us a better understanding of the problems and interests of the presentday
world.
Our mission is to preserve countries’ national identity along with their cultural
and language diversity, crucial to ensuring the sustainable development of
society and intercommunal harmony.
We seek to attain modern cultural standards based on universal human values
while also remaining loyal to our own distinctive traditions. We should evolve
as a community by enhancing our spiritual capacity and social cohesion.
I wish you all productive work and fruitful discussions!
Abulfas Karayev
