On November 27, the office of AEGEE-Yerevan youth public organization
was officially opened in Yerevan.

Coordinator of the European Commission’s Tempus program in Armenia
Lana Karlova expressed hope that AEGEE-Yerevan will become an
authoritative organization in Armenia in five years.

Due to the organization, the Armenian youth will be able to obtain
information on European educational programs, Karlova said.

AEGEE (French abbreviation of the European Forum of Students) is one
of the largest organizations of Europe, which currently has around
15,000 members in various countries.

During the 50th assembly of AEGEE in October 2010, an agreement was
signed between AEGEE-Europe and AEGEE-Yerevan, under which the
organization has obtained the right to officially operate in Yerevan.
Currently, AEGEE-Yerevan has 30 members. Besides, numerous
applications on membership have been received. Active young people
below 35 can become members of the organization.
