Its participants, who arrived from Armenia, Hungary, Canada,

relaxation of tension and conduct of peacekeeping operations.  These
delegates dealt with international and inter-ethnic conflicts in

Ukrainian community of the Crimean Tartar people, Armenians,
Bulgarians, Greeks and Germans, who were subjected to deportation",

last three years proved to be effective and there is a hope that it
will be continued with an active international support."
