PanARMENIAN.Net – In two weeks Armenia will become a full-fledged
member of International Organization of the Francophonie, French
ambassador to Yerevan Henri Reynaud said.

International Organization of the Francophonie comprises 56 member
states and governments, 3 associate members, and 19 observers.

The modern organization was created in 1970. Started as a small club
of northern French-speaking countries, the Francophonie has since
evolved into a global organization whose numerous branches cooperate
with its member states in the fields of culture, science, economy,
justice, and peace.

Armenia joined the organization in 2008.
