    ARMENIA CUT DIAMOND OUTPUT FALLS 25%

    Armenia produced US$160 million worth of cut diamonds in the first
    nine months of 2004, marking a decrease of some 25 percent as
    compared to the same period of 2003, according to a spokesman for the
    Trade and Economic Development Ministry of Armenia.

    Sales of cut diamonds fell to US$157 million, while exports fell to
    US$156 million.

    The decreases are attributed to a drop in supplies of Russian rough
    diamonds. Armenia imported just 100,000 carats of rough diamonds from
    Russia in the nine months under an intergovernmental agreement that
    provides a quota of 400,000 carats for 2004.
