On the occasion of celebrations of the International Francophonie Day on March 20, a two-month long regular Francophonie season was launched in Armenia.

In the framework of this year’s season more than 600 francophone cultural, educational and university events will be held in March and April both in Yerevan and all marzes (regions) of Armenia.
