after 22 years of operation in Turkey, since the establishment of the
Federation in 1995.

years of struggle", said Mohammed Omran, the Chairperson of the
Federation and the Executive Chairman of the Egyptian Exchange.
"Having two young and ambitious exchanges; Cyprus Stock Exchange and
Iran Fare Burse as new board members replacing the withdrawal
exchanges (Bourse Istanbul and Sarajevo Stock Exchange) will defiantly
enhance the dynamism of the Federation", Omran added.

NASDAQ OMX Armenia, who was appointed as FEAS Secretary General. His
appointment was recommended by the Executive Board and approved by the
majority of General Assembly.

political structures within FEAS, bringing success and growth to the
Federation", said Mr. Konstantin Saroyan, CEO, NASDAQ OMX Armenia.
