Multiculturalism and "Baku Process" (original) (raw)

Human societies and cultures are inextricably connected. What does distinguish one nation from another? It is said that it is historical and cultural heritage: art, beliefs, cuisine, customs, national costume, language, and literature. By no means, it should discriminate or glorify one over another. The most specific and important point is the protection of the multicultural traditions by means of avoiding hatred speeches and suppressing ethnic conflicts through education and promotion of multicultural harmony. The principle of tolerance is the basis of multicultural policy. Such policy should be implemented in each stratum of the population, starting from ruling classes to common citizens.
