Armenia and Neighbors. 20 Years in Figures
It is difficult to gauge the immense changes recorded in the South Caucasus in the years since the fall of the Soviet Union. The people of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan have lived and experienced on their skin, these uneven, often adverse, sometimes inspiring developments. Yet, seen from within, it has often been difficult to maintain perspective and to put things in context.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The Civilitas Foundation is entering its fourth year of operation. On this New Year, Civilitas Director Salpi Ghazarian offers a New Year's message that summarizes the Civilitas programs and focuses on the goals for the coming year.
In 2012, in addition to continuing the public forums, enhancing Civil.am and supporting dairy farmers and libraries, Civilitas will focus on media -- CivilNet.TV and Orakarg.am. Both these media projects will benefit from the results of regular public polling. Civilitas remains committed to building a strong civil society. |
