    Yerevan--Today Heritage Party's MPs Stepan Safarian and Larisa Alaverdian
    conducted a press conference at the National Assembly and answered the
    questions of news reporters representing fifteen leading news agencies from
    European Union countries. The participating members of the European press

    The European journalists are visiting Armenia, from September 2 to 6, by the

    and International Security" Project. The reporters--from Finland, Sweden,

    integration, the democratic process, the latest regional developments,
    Armenia's domestic political situation, the protection of human rights, the
    freedom of speech and media coverage, and on numerous other key pressing
    issues.

    Alaverdian also presented in detail Heritage's assessments on and views
    concerning the most recent initiatives toward normalizing Armenian-Turkish
    relations, the pacific resolution of the Karabagh conflict, the
