The “Decolonization: Awakening of the Renaissance” international conference, organized by the Baku Initiative Group (BIG), has today kicked off in Istanbul, Türkiye.

Addressing the conference, BIG Executive Director Abbas Abbasov said that a total of five international conferences had been conducted by the Baku Initiative Group over the last four months in 2023.

“The primary objective of these conferences was to amplify the voices of people in countries affected by colonialism to the global community. As the Baku Initiative Group, we have successfully achieved this goal, enabling those impacted by colonialism to express their concerns through the established platforms,” Abbas Abbasov emphasized.

In his remarks, UN expert on Governance Carlyle G. Corbin expressed his gratitude to Azerbaijan, as well as the Baku Initiative Group for delivering the voices of the people living in countries affected by colonialism to the international community.

The conference also featured the screening of a video highlighting the Baku Initiative Group’s activities, followed by panel discussions.
