The main aim of "Freedom of Information Week" (FOI week) is to broadly present to the public the right to freedom of information, the mechanisms of its implementation and the enforcement process of the Law on the Freedom of Information of the Republic of Armenia. Every year more than two dozen countries of the world including Canada, Spain, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Russia, Croatia, Uganda and others, dedicate the last week of September to the issue of the freedom of information. This year, the Freedom of Information Center (FOIC) has joined the international initiative and will mark FOI Week by presenting a number of projects and will hold the annual FOI awards during which the most open and the most closed state institutions of 2011 will be announced, and not only...
