YEREVAN, AUGUST 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry
of the Republic of Armenia and Venice's Chamber of Commerce are
implementing a joint technical assistance program with the aim
of promoting wine-making. Romano Tiozo, Secretary-General of
Venice's Chamber of Commerce, stated this at the August 30 press
conference. The program is financed by Venice's Chamber of Commerce,
the Veneto province and the Mekhitarian Congregation of Venice. During
their visit to Armenia, five representatives of Venice's Chamber of
Commerce familiarized themselves with the local conditions of grapes
production in order to advise on how to improve the quality of Armenian
grapes. The Secretary-General of Venice's Chamber of Commerce said
that Armenian wines can be competitive on the European market. "In my
opinion, new technologies should be introduced to improve the quality
of Armenian wines. In this case, they would be able to occupy a stable
place on the European market," he said. Under the same program, 15
Armenian wine-makers representing such companies as Eraskh, Areni,
Getanun, Ginetas, Getap, Ijevan, Shahumian, Van 777 and MAP went to
Italy in July 2006. They attended the courses on wine quality and wine
production process improvement, technical programming optimization,
and development of marketing and agricultural tourism.
