A panel discussion titled “Radicalization and migration as a global security challenge: how to progress to committed joint action?” was held as part of the 4th Global Baku Forum on March 11.
The panel’s moderator, former Prime Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina Zlatko Lagumdzija, said the source of radicalization should be found, touching upon the migration crisis.
Addressing the panel discussion, former Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Medguessy said “Arab Spring” was an immature process.
“Most points, particularly the ongoing migrant crisis were ignored. Despite the lack of a final solution, the cessation of war and armed incidents will ease the migrant crisis. However, in all cases, a final solution to this problem will take a long time,” he added.
Former Moldovan President Petru Lucinschi, speaking at the panel discussion, said the migrant crisis will not be eliminated in the absence of effective measures on a global scale.
“Now the situation is that the migrant problem has become the process of people’s displacement. It is impossible to imagine its outcomes,” Lucinschi said, noting the need for the second Marshall Plan, through which Europe came out of the [migrant problem] after World War II.
Addressing the discussion, former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said that she completely agrees with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s opinion that the world is in a dangerous period. “Today, the danger is not beyond Europe, but in it. Conflicts occur everywhere. Today, we are facing a religious war – not a Muslim-Christian war, but a war of religious sects,” he added.
Former Romanian Prime Minister Petre Roman, in his turn, said refugees are a radical part of migration, urging the world community to make decisions by drawing conclusions from the ongoing developments.
The panel discussion was continued in a question-and-answer format.
