Azerbaijan’s education minister has not yet received an invitation to participate in events in Yerevan as part of the Bologna Process later this year.
“We have not yet received an invitation to the event. But even if we get this invitation, the question of participating in the event will be discussed with Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry as this is a matter of foreign policy,” head of the public relations department at Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Education Bayram Huseynzadeh told Vesti.az.
Recall, the press service of Armenia’s education and science ministry issued a statement earlier today in which it stated that education minister Armen Ashotyan had sent invitation letters to the president of Turkey’s Council of Higher Education and Azerbaijan’s education minister to participate in the events organized in Armenia as part of this year’s Bologna Process. Note, Armenia and Poland will be co-chairing the Bologna Process from July 1 to Dec. 31.
Armenia’s education and science ministry plans to organize a number of events in Armenia as part of the Bologna Process: an international student summer school is set to take place in Armenia from Jul. 3–10, which aims to gather students from Armenia and the other Bologna member states to discuss a number of issues significant to the Bologna Process, while an international conference on financing higher education is set for Sept. 8–9, 2011.
