Georgian Conflict: Relocation to Armenia

On Sunday 10 August, Foundation for Progress staff was relocated to Armenia with a US Embassy evacuation convoy in light of the escalating conflict in Georgia. After staying in Armenia for one week, foundation staff returned to Tbilisi on Monday 18 August to resume business. The conflict in Georgia is currently de-escalating and the violence has decreased significantly in the past week. The capital of Tbilisi is safe, however there are many refugees in the capital that still cannot return to their homes due to continuing Russian occupation. Foundation for Progress is currently working on ways to help these displaced people. Foundation for Progress will continue business as usual with previous projects, but will supplement this work with relief efforts in light of the recent conflict.


The convoy consisted of about 19 vehicles.


Many people fled Georgia to Armenia to escape the conflict.
