The third forum of Armenian political parties will be held on July 16-18 in Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh), the deputy chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) told reporters on Wednesday, June 14.

"The forum has become an efficient tradition in the Armenian political life which this year will host 15 Armenia-based and parties and six from Karabakh," Armen Ashotyan said.

"Both parliamentary and non-parliamentary forces will participate in the forum."

The forum, according to him, will tackle a host of issues, including security, external challenges, socio-economic problems, as well as information security issues of Armenia's media.

Also, Ashotyan said a number of diplomats and experts have been invited to deliver remarks and take part in the forum.

The second forum was also held in Nagorno Karabakh last year at the initiative of the Republican Party of Armenia.
