Freedom of Information Center of Armenia.

In 2012, during the 10th annual "Golden Key and Rusty Lock" award ceremony it was the first time that the negative Rusty Lock award, a symbol of secrecy, was not announced. This shows the consistent work done by the Freedom of Information Center.

It has been already 10 years since 2003 after the adoption of the Armenian FOI law that the Freedom of Information Center holds the FOI Annual Award Ceremony which becomes an important awareness raising campaign tool and a stimulus for developing good access to information practices by public bodies. The Golden Keys awards are awarded as a symbol of openness and transparency, and the Rusty Lock awards are awarded as a symbol of secrecy.

In 2012 it was the first time that the jury was unable to select the most secret state body, as there was no state body which never fulfills the requirements of the RA Law on FOI http://www.foi.am/en/news/item/1082/.
