    ARMENIA'S PUBLIC TV BROADCAST BY ORANGE TV

    Edward Nalbandian, Armenia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Didier
    Lombard, CEO of France Telecom-Orange, on 12th March in Paris
    celebrated the arrival of Armenia's public channel, Armenia 1, to
    Orange TV. The channel will be available free of charge on Orange TV
    on broadband internet (Canal 305). Orange strengthens the bonds
    between France and Armenia.

    Armenia 1 on Orange TV
    Armenia's first public general viewing channel, Armenia I will from
    now on be broadcast on Orange TV's channel 305 on broadband
    internet. Armenia 1 is a real link between Armenia and the Armenian
    community living in France.

    Orange and Armenia
    This agreement between Edward Nalbandian and Didier Lombard was also
    an opportunity to recall the many relationships over the years between
    the Group and the Armenian Republic.

    In 1988, in the earthquake that shook Armenia, the Group flew a mobile
    satellite antenna to the country enabling it to communicate with the
    rest of the world. The first pictures and the communications
    re-established with the Diaspora helped trigger and maintain the
    strong solidarity movement that arose in France.

    Since 2000, Orange has supported the Armenian Fund of France in
    organizing the annual Phonethon held in November each year. This
    operation run by hundreds of volunteers consists of collecting funds
    by telephone for structural projects in Armenia such as roads,
    schools, hospitals, nurseries¦ etc. The Group makes available all
    the logistics, technology and systems for call centers in four large
    cities in France.

    Each year the Regional Department at Marseille welcomes many Armenian
    students into its service as part of a partnership with the French
    University in Yerevan, the Conseil Général des Bouches
    du Rhône and the French-Armenian Chamber of Commerce and
    Industry.

    By the end of 2009, Orange will launch a mobile phone service in
    Armenia via its subsidiary Orange Armenia. In October 2008, Orange was
    awarded the third mobile operator license (GSM and 3G) in the Republic
    of Armenia, a market that shows considerable potential for
    growth. With this launch, Armenia is set to benefit from the strength
    of the Orange brand as well as the Group's capacity to offer
    high-quality, innovative services.
