Yevgeny Bazhanov, Rector of the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian
Foreign Ministry, described the intensive cooperation with Abkhazia and
South Ossetia. He noted that the Academy had a faculty for training
and qualification-improvement, special courses for South Ossetia and
Abkhazia regularly attended by diplomats from the republics. Lessons
last 3-4 weeks.
The rector added that the Diplomatic Academy had a quota for foreign
students. About 10-12 of them come from Abkhazia and South Ossetia
every year to study and get masters and bachelors degrees and possibly
continue post-graduate studies.
Bazhanov noted that the Academy helped train and improve the
qualifications of Azerbaijani and Armenian students. 20 of their
students study there every year. The Diplomatic Academy has been
cooperating with Azerbaijan and Armenia since 1994. The rector reminded
that Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Khalaf Khalafov was a graduate
of the Academy.
The Diplomatic Academy continues training Georgian diplomats, despite
the absence of diplomatic relations between Russia and Georgia. The
rector admitted that they were studying at their own expense.
Bazhanov noted that there were regular conferences with Turkey.
"Tourism in Russian-Turkish relations" and 'Russian-Turkish relations:
history and modernity" were the two conferences last year. A Turkish
cultural center plans to rent a building in Russia.
