Subject: FW: Youth org. in Baku seeks materials
Dear Friends!
My name is Mehriban Mamedova Co-director of Research Center
"Youth and Democracy".
Recently I began working in the field of youth rights.
In Azerbaijan as well as in other countries of the former USSR this is a
very serious problem abecuse people are poorly informed about their
rights. Today I am working on a project, that involves the creation of a
Rescourse center for Youth organizations.
To do this I am needed in:
1. Literature, materials about international norms and laws regarding the
rights of youth.
2. Information about various groups working on similar issues and about
publications on these issues.
3. Information about the youth activites,
4. Information about the funds, reserach institutes, international youth
organizations, international expenses.
I will be very grateful for any of your responses to my questions.
Yours Sincerely,
Mehriban Mamedova
