Baku State University has hosted an event titled "Prospects for Peace and Cooperation in the South Caucasus," jointly organized by the Center for Analysis of International Relations (UNDC) and the Faculty of International Relations and Economics of Baku State University (BSU.

Farid Shafiyev, Chairman of the UNDC, emphasized Azerbaijan's commitment to engagement with the West, debunking notions of political or economic isolation. Shafiyev highlighted President Ilham Aliyev's active participation in international forums such as the Munich Security Conference as evidence of Azerbaijan's openness to cooperation. In contrast, Shafiyev pointed out Armenia's self-imposed isolation, citing its reluctance to support regional cooperation initiatives proposed by Azerbaijan.

BSU Rector Elchin Babayev noted that such discussions of issues are very beneficial. He stated that by utilizing the potential of the Faculty of International Relations and Economics at BSU, a platform can be created to conduct numerous meetings and discussions related to international relations, foreign policy, and the country's economy.

Musa Gasymly, a member of the Milli Majlis, Sabina Garashova, an associate professor at the Department of Diplomacy and Modern Integration Processes, and Javid Veliev, the head of the CAIR department, along with others, also delivered speeches at the event.
