DR. AKKAN SUVER's SPEECH in the

BAKU III. INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN FORUM

As someone who has attended the first and second Humanitarian Forums, it is a great source of joy for me to be able to attend the third Humanitarian Forum.

I would like to stress out that the humanitarian development experienced by the Azerbaijan, one of the most important states of the Caucasus and the Turkic world, under the wise leadership of His Excellency President Ilham Aliyev in the short period of time within a state's history of 22 years is worthy of any praise and compliment.

I attribute great deal of importance to the Humanitarian Forum. For I deem the coming together of numerous distinguished personalities who are all experts on an international scale in their respective fields worthy of this era and age. Thereby, I present my appreciation to all those who put effort, and foremost to our President His Excellency Ilham Aliyev.

I resembled our subject with peace and cooperation's relations with human.

As you know, human is the statement of action and activity, meaning the statement of dynamism. The human of the 21st Century of which we have surpassed the half of its first quarter, misses a democratic world. ''Peace from World''. A world living in peace. A world undivided. And a world that is rich!

I want to summarize what today people understand from globalization, peace and cooperation as undivided, democracy and peace through prosperity.

I say ''yes, they can'' to those who think can these thoughts come to realization.

Forasmuch, things that once considered to be utopia, not seemed possible to attain and even impossible to dream of have come to be realized today.

When we look a hundred years before the 21st Century of which we only experienced the thirteen years yet, things that nobody can foresee have happened. 20th Century seen great wars. The empires once considered to be indestructible have perished. From each empire, a number of states emerged. With the fall of the Ottoman Empire alone, thirty four new states have come into being. At the end of the World War I Austria-Hungary and German Empires were dissolved. At the end of the World War II, although they were the victors of the war British Empire and the Colonial French State were also lost much of their colonial territories. At the end of the era, the silence collapse of the Soviet Empire has been experienced. Seven states emerged from a small Yugoslavia. The United Nations, which had around fifty members when it has been established today consist of approximately two hundred ten member states.

All of these are the works of mankind.

Humanity now lives ''Glocalization'' as the Western World states. Meaning the humanity is in a rush from global to local.

Therefore, peace, prosperity and undivided world are no longer an utopia.

Information age carries its place from innovation to innovation with the information technology that changing every day. Today, virtual tours can be made in the highways of information, and a change in politics, culture, education and all other aspects are taking place.

Three days ago, in Istanbul, Europe and Asia connected with a tunnel 60 meters beneath water. Thanks to humankind, today, we can learn about events of Peru in Ecuador and events of Ghana in Mongolia at light speed.

And today, if we can talk about an universal law, universal medicine, universal engineering and universal technology, we can do it thanks to humankind, as well.

In 21st century, humankind is working towards creating a new international finance architecture. Duty of humankind should be stringing along with conditions of the age and finding a richer, more peaceful and newer place in the new era.

We are moving towards a more beautiful, greener, more peaceful, healthier, safer and more fair world. And prerequisite for our aim is belief.

Today, we have a better world.

And tomorrow, it will be even better.

And a world with happy humanity will be an artifact of cooperation; and accordingly an artifact for humanism.
