On February 20, 2010 an article on the EUROCLIO/MATRA project in Georgia written by Klara    Baratashvili was published in Caucasian Knot, a website which deals with a broad range of regional issues. Klara Baratashvili, a leading representative of the Meskhetian minority in Georgia, attended the last project workshop in Tbilisi in January 2010. In her article she describes in details the efforts done by the project team members to address the role of ethnic minorities in Georgian history when developing innovative educational materials for the classroom. She also interviews several of the project coordinators on the approaches and methods developed within the project. Klara Baratashvili ends her article pointing out the issues  mainly related to language which hamper the inclusion of the national minorities in the Georgian educational system, a challenge for the authorities.
