15 years passed after the day when eight former USSR member states –
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan – joined the UN. On March 2, 1992 state
flags of these countries were raised in front of the organization’s
headquarters.
Because of the civil war Georgia became a UN member a few months
later – in July 1992.
The three ex-Soviet Baltic States – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – had
joined the organization in September 1991. Russia, Ukraine and Belarus
were among the founders of the United Nations Organization in 1945.
Today the UN has 192 member states.
