/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Socialist International (SI) will hold a
conference in Yerevan on March 25 and 26 on the initiative of ARF
Dashnaktsutyun.

"The event will bring together members of political parties
from Russia, Iran, Latin American and European countries," ARFD
parliamentary group member Ara Nranyan told reporters on Wednesday.

The Socialist International is the worldwide organization of
social democratic, socialist and labor parties. It currently
brings together 170 political parties and organizations from all
continents. The Socialist International, whose origins go back to
the early international organizations of the labor movement, has
existed in its present form since 1951, when it was re-established
at the Frankfurt Congress. The supreme decision-making bodies of the
International are the Congress, which meets every three to four years,
and the Council, which includes all member parties and organizations
and which meets twice a year.
