Hello, I have a trivial question about framework. I have written a project including some classes. among the classes I have an abstract class with two methods. Another class is inherited from this class which owns more specialized methods. Now my question is can i refer to this program as a framework or not.

Framework is something you can build application upon. If your classes may be used in general, name your code a library. Framework throws in specific style and philosophy, and you usually can't build anything you like without conforming to minimum rules.

Yes you can. But will it be accepted by others as such? Set of classes is usually called a toolkit. Framework is like a massive structure on which you can build customized applications.
