YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS. The preparations for the La Francophonie summit in Yerevan are underway and there will not be any deviation from its agenda, spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs Tigran Balayan said at a May 22 press briefing.

“Although I must confess that we are a bit held back from the schedule, the discussion at the Prime Minister’s office yesterday and the instructions which followed allow to say that there will not be a deviation from the agenda both in terms of the planned events and documentations,” he said.
