according to the customs report for the Committee on State Revenue.
A total of $50.41 million (customs value) in diamonds was exported
from the country in the first half of 2010 compared to $22.277 million
in exports for the same period of 2009 (up 130%).
Imports of unfinished diamonds to Armenia in the first half came to
390,000 carat worth $58.234 million compared to 73,000 carat worth
$22.004 million for the first half of 2009.
Armenia's Economic Ministry told Interfax that diamonds produced
in Armenia are largely exports to Russia, the U.S. and Europe. The
ministry said that the increase in exports had been driven by revival
on the market.
