International Alija Izetbegovic Symposium was held on October, 11-12th 2008 in Istanbul, Turkey. Alija Izetbegovic, the first president of Bosnia, was one of the most important state ministers and thinkers. President Izetbegovic lived as an great example to both the Bosnian nation and the rest of the world.
There was symposium, exhibition and movies. Alija's son, Bakır Izzetbegovic also attended the symposium along with many academicians and scientests from Bosnia, Turkey and the rest of the world.
Participants talked about President Izetbegovic as both a politician and a thinker during two day - symposium. The last session, called "testimonies",included explanations of friends of the first Bosnian President and journalists which had witnessed the 1992-1995 Serbian, montenegrin and Croatian aggressions against Bosnia.
Lokman Cagrici, mayor of Bagcilar, said that "we do our historical duty to Alija and Bosnia. Alija is also from Istanbul as much as from Bosnia."
Here are the paper abstracts of some panelists at the symposium:

Sarajevo, 27. jula - Arhiv Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine danas je preuzeo vrijednu zbirku dokumentacionog materijala koji se odnosi na zbivanja u Bosni i Hercegovini u periodu neposredno prije agresije na našu zemlju pa sve do 2005. godine. Riječ je o novinskim tekstovima i video materijalima koje su u tom periodu objavljivali najpoznatiji američki printani mediji i televizijske stanice. Riječ je o hiljadama novinskih priloga raznih žanrova i stotinama sati raznog video materijala o ratu u BiH.
Zbirka je nastala vrijednim i sistematičnim sakupljanjem Muharema Handanovića iz okoline Sanskog Mosta koji je 42 godine živio u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama i blagovremeno osjetio da bi zbivanja u BiH praćena kroz najpoznatije svjetske medije jednog dana mogla predstavljati dokumentarističku dragocjenost za Bosnu i Hercegovinu.
Direktor Arhiva Federacije Adamir Jerković primio je gospodina Handanovića i zadržao se s njim u prijatnom razgovoru o poklonjenoj zbirci i načinu kako će ona biti tretirana u našem arhivu.
Arhiv Federacije će poklonjeni materijal sistematizovati i pripremiti ga da jednog dana bude u potpunosti prezentovan i na razne načine dostupan široj javnosti
