Turkmenistan Project
Central Eurasia Project, Open Society Institute, New York, NY, USA
Supplied note: "In December of 2002 The Open Society Institute announced the launch of a new initiative, the Turkmenistan Project. The project will build on the work OSI has done since the 1990s to promote civil society in Turkmenistan, a closed and repressive country in Central Asia that was part of the former Soviet Union. That work has included grant-making and programmatic activities in areas as far-ranging as arts and culture, access to information, and public health. The Turkmenistan Project plans to add resources and implement its goals for civil society in a more strategic and comprehensive way. [...] We invite you to subscribe to our Turkmenistan project list-serv, which appears in both Russian and English, and is open to anyone. List-serv recipients will receive between 3 and 10 messages a week, posting news updates, announcements of reports about Turkmenistan, diplomatic statements, and other relevant information. To add names or unsubscribe, please send a message to turkmenistan[use"@"]sorosny.org - ef."
