New Project in Support of the National Integration of Ethnic Azerbaijani and Armenian Communities within the Georgian State

The Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International studies, with support from the Government of Finland, has started implementation of a project towards National Integration of Ethnic Azeri and Armenian Minorities within the Georgian State. The project is aimed at achieving national unity, through the integration of ethnic and religious minorities into Georgia's civic and political life. Activities  include training in issues of nationwide importance by leading experts in various fields, meetings with representatives of the executive and legislative branches, and cultural excursions. The target group for the project is young leaders from the Kvemo Kartli and Samtskhe-Javakheti minority communities.

The first training program for representatives of the Azeri community of Kvemo Kartli took place at GFSIS on November 4 - 17, 2006.  In total, 10 participants representing local governmental, non-governmental, and educational institutions took part in the program.
