in this work we consider conjugacy of elements and parabolic subgroups‎ ‎in details‎, ‎in a new class of artin groups‎, ‎introduced in an earlier work‎, ‎which may contain arbitrary parabolic subgroups‎. ‎in particular‎, ‎we find‎ ‎algorithmically minimal representatives of elements in a conjugacy class‎ ‎and also an algorithm to pass from one minimal representative to the others‎.
