journalists that bilateral negotiation process will soon start for
that purpose with participation of the Armenian Republican Party,
Prosperous Armenia Party, Orinats Yerkir Party and the EPP on the

inception. Founded in 1976, the EPP strives for a democratic,
transparent and efficient Europe that is close to its citizens. EPP is
the largest political organization of Europe with 72 member-parties
from 39 countries, 18 heads of state and government (13 EU and 5

largest Group in the European Parliament with 265 members.
