Sixth International Conference, Yalta, Republic of Crimea, October 19-23, 2015
Armen Oganesyan , Editor-in-Chief of International
Affairs (Russia): It gives me great pleasure to see our
old friends and those who have for the first time
come to the sixth international conference that the
International Affairs journal, with support from the
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is holding in
Crimea. I will now hand the floor over to G.L. Mu-
radov, deputy prime minister of the Republic of
Crimea and permanent representative of the Repub-
lic of Crimea to the President of the Russian Feder-
ation.
Georgy Muradov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic
of Crimea, Permanent Representative of the Republic of
Crimea to the President of the Russian Federation (Russia):
I would like to convey greetings and the best wishes
to the participants in the conference on behalf of the
Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea.
Your forum, which has already become traditional
and a kind of an intellectual club, is of special impor-
tance for us as it addresses the most pressing issues,
including those related to the future of Crimea. I would like to remind you that the forum was
already taking place at a time when Crimea was still in the process of sailing into a "home port,"
as our president said.
Sergey Bazdnikin, Deputy Director, Foreign Policy Plan-
ning Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian
Federation (Russia): This conference is an excellent op-
portunity for like-minded people to get together and
share their opinion on current and relevant issues.
The expert dialogue that we will have during the next
two days is very important under the present circum-
stances.
Our work here is our contribution to the overall ef-
fort to advance positive processes in the post-Soviet space.
