Chairman of Azerbaijan`s State Committee on Refugees and IDPs Ali Hasanov met representatives of World Affairs Council of America (WACA).
Hasanov briefed the WACA representatives on Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
He underlined Armenia continue to ignore the documents adopted by international organizations.
Hasanov also highlighted what the Azerbaijani government had been doing to improve social welfare of refugees and IDPs.
"67 new settlements have been built for refugees, including schools, hospitals, cultural and communication facilities."
In her turn, president of WACA Lori Murray spoke of her organization`s activity. She said WACA is the largest nonpartisan, non-profit grassroots organization in the United States dedicated to educating and engaging the American public on global issues, adding over 500,000 people a year benefit from the network programming, including members and participants.
The national office of the WACA works to develop new program opportunities to distribute to member councils. This includes a variety of national program series, an annual national conference, five flagship programs, Leadership Missions to other countries, and other opportunities. A leadership mission is an overseas fact-finding visit to a city, country, or international organization by a national leadership delegation of the World Affairs Council movement. The main purposes are to get to know the people, the issues, and the problems of the city, the country or the organization first-hand and to establish a much greater connection between the country and a well-informed and influential part of the American public.
Attending the meeting, Emmit Richard McHaffie, Azerbaijan`s Honorary Consul to the city of Santa Fe, US, said he witnessed great changes in Baku since his last visit.
The WACA representatives viewed Heydar Aliyev Centre following the meeting. They were handed materials featuring Azerbaijani realities.
