This means that the organization was created on a sound footing with people who have great experience in this field. Each of the founders of this organization, including board members, in addition to a good education abroad, have deep experience with the Diaspora, are well aware of the lobbying activities, in carrying out diverse activities in different countries around the world.'

The statement came from chairman of the ASAIF public union Orkhan Akbarov.

According to him, today there are different organizations, both local and foreign ones.

'Some of them are actively working for the prosperity of our country. And some of them failed to justify themselves and expectations. But, despite this, the government of Azerbaijan has made every possible effort in order to support the Azerbaijani youth abroad and provides full moral and material assistance.

The major difference between us and other existing organizations  is that we plan to cover the whole world, all continents, where  our youth studies and live which in turn is the main purpose of our organization. In addition, our goal is to create the strongest youth organization, which will create conditions for effective work of our young people abroad to exhibit a high sensitivity to all kinds of suggestions and reviews of young Azerbaijanis living abroad, 7 days a week and 12 months a year.

Our members are ready to talk with every interesting person in his own language. ASAIF - is not only an organization, it is a state of mind. And if a man really loves his country and Azerbaijan and is trying to influence the improvement of an image of the republic abroad, he is potentially one of us'.

He noted that people who are part of this organization have a sincere attitude to their mission, making great efforts for its further development and have a very large circle of positive impact on the younger part of our diaspora.

'A clear example of this is the 8th forum, held  on 20-21 August  2010, in Baku, with the support of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The forum was attended by 250 participants from more than 30 countries around the world. This indicates the possibilities for further effective work of the organization. It is necessary to understand that the success is primarily the teamwork, which is why we say: "Together we are strong!"'.
