On 12 September an ethno jazz concert by Miqayel Voskanyan and Friends was held in Tbilisi, Georgia. The concert was organised jointly by the Council of Europe and the Armenian Embassy in Georgia. The event celebrated the Armenian Chairmanship of the Council of Europe. It was an occasion to raise awareness of the Council of Europe’s No Hate Speech Movement and was an excellent of the synergies between the national campaigns and country offices of the Council of Europe. The campaign in Georgia will be launched early October. YOU JOINED THE MOVEMENT..
