Telavi, Georgia -- Some 25 freedom of information advocates and

Organized by the National Security Archive together with its partners from
Tbilisi State University, the workshop included participants from Georgia,
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, and the United States, and representatives of
the leading FOI organizations in each country, meeting for two days of
presentations and discussion in Telavi, and a session at the State Security
