“We’re seeing a successful experience here in terms of settling problems of the IDPs,” he said.
Shvydkoy noted that there is no problem in Azerbaijan about the intercivilizational issue.
“There are currently 65 million refugees and IDPs worldwide. This number is incredible,” said the presidential envoy. “The migrants should integrate into and receive education in the countries where they inhabit. What has been taking place in Germany is being criticized. Nevertheless, Germany has certain models of migrants’ integration into society. There can be no question of human capital without social programs.”
“From this point of view, today’s economy is the economy of science and knowledge. We need knowledgeable people. In case the migrants are not involved in the employment process, nothing good will happen. Sometimes the migrants are meant to do the ‘black’ work. But they need to be involved in the real labor market,” he added.
The 5th Baku International Humanitarian Forum kicked off at the Heydar Aliyev Center, Baku on Sep.29.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev attended the official opening ceremony of the forum.
