A few days the Institute for War and Peace Reporting ago held a
seminar in Yerevan in the frame of the project Caucasian Network
of Journalism. The project is financed by the European Union. 13
journalists from the South and North Caucasus (including from
Nagorno-Karabakh) watched the election campaign in Armenia, met with
famous Armenian politicians, discussed the state of freedom of speech
in the countries of the Caucasus.
These three days were an opportunity for the reporters to study the
standards of reporting in the pre-election period, learn the ABC of
conflictology, meet with the representatives of the Republican Party,
the National Democratic Party, the People's Party and the Heritage
Party. They also arranged to write collaborative articles.

be included in the Caucasian Network of Journalism, whose articles
