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.
