    Philip Morris International says Armenian tobacco legislation needs to
    be reformed

    YEREVAN, September 11, /ARKA/. Aharon Tadevosian, a responsible for
    corporate relations of Philip Morris International (PMI) in Armenia,
    said today Armenia's legislation on use of tobacco products needs to be
    reformed.

    `We are for strong legislation and its effective application,' he said
    during a seminar today convened to discuss ways to hold juveniles back
    from smoking and how to reform the related legislation.

    According to him, Philip Morris International stands for clear-cut and
    tough regulation of the sector and for ensuing equal conditions to all
    companies.

    He said the PMI is in direct contact with public at large informing it
    on the dangers of smoking through mass media and Internet. Besides, he
    said, the company's representatives visits regularly trade outlets
    selling cigarettes to provide them with information about the danger of
    smoking. He said in case of finding out that cigarettes are sold to
    juveniles the company stops supplying it with its produces. `Children
    are not our clients,' he said.

    PMI is one of the leading cigarette producing companies in the world
    holding over 15% of the global market outside the USA. In Armenia it is
    represented by Philip Morris Management Services BV since 1995, selling
