Dear Dil,
My apologies to bother you.
I have been following closely on this organization. It has nothing to do
with UNESCO or any of the UN organizations. I checked UNESCO site for
this conference nothing of the sort.
As I work for the UN, I have checked with UN offices in Lebanon, they have
no idea about it.
I have reported them to UNESCO to check on them and if they are really
affiliated with them.
The outrageous amount of subscription is what made me suspect them, their
site which has been empty with no addition at all except some articles
taken from other sources not even their own. Also one of the names
mentioned on their site has had many problems with different organizations
before.
If I receive any answer from UN office in Lebanon or UNESCO in France, I
will inform you.
Salaam and taHeyyaat,
Samia

تحية طيبة

يؤسفني القول أن الموقع

www.alarabiah.org
لا يقدم أي معلومات مفيدة عن المؤتمر فالعنوان الثانوي (شارك في المؤتمر)
يحتوي على الكثير من المداخل إلا أنها للأسف خالية تماما. كذلك فإن استمارة
التسجيل كان ينبغي أن تكون ملف (وورد) لتسهيل عملية التسجيل

مع التقدير
ستار زويني
