Between September 30 and October 3, BRIDGE ARTSAKH economic conference
took place in Stepanakert, which has been organized here for already
three years by the Armenian Union of Industrialists and Businessmen
and MASTER International Integration Support Center. It is organized
under the NKR President's auspices. The official associate of the
conference is the Artsakh Investment Fund.
Also, on October 1, the ARTSAKH EXPO-2011 second trade-industrial
exhibition was opened, which was attended by RA Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsian who had arrived in Artsakh to participate in the conference.
The honor of cutting the red ribbon was given to NKR Prime Minister
Ara Harutyunian and Chairman of the RA Union of Industrialists and
Businessmen Arsen Ghazarian. About 15 RA and NKR industrialists'
production was represented at the exhibition, some of them being
popular not only among the RA and NKR, but also the foreign consumers.
According to the Artsakh Investment Fund, about 70 companies'
representatives, 65 official representatives of the NKR state bodies,
led by President Bako Sahakian, were invited to the exhibition. The
RA delegation comprised 47 people. Chairman of the RA Union of
Industrialists and Businessmen A. Ghazarian greeted the forum
participants, wishing them successful work. Then, the governmental
delegation familiarized with the exhibits, got interested in the
technology of producing the meat foods of the Good Samaritan, tasted
the milk products of the Artsakhkat and the canned food and jams of the
Artsakhfruit, visited the pavilions of the Artsakhbrand, Varanda, 55,
and other represented companies. Some companies-participants of the
exhibition - on producing plastic bags, processing stone, producing
metal-plastic windows and doors - have had successful business
in Artsakh for a few years. The tourism sphere was represented by
Gandzasar-Tour organization, with its Tsovin Kar and Eclectics hotels'
advertisement material.
Within the conference, a series of meetings took place between the
representatives of the state bodies and private organizations. After
the exhibition, a plenary session of ARTSAKH BRIDGE conference took
place, at which speeches were made by RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsian
and NKR Minister of Economic Development Karen Yesayan.
The NKR President expressed his gratitude and highly appreciated any
step aimed at the country's prosperity, evaluating the NKR economic
development as a nationwide goal.
The conference participants discussed issues of special significance
for the NKR economy and the prospects of new investments; they tried
to research the issues impeding business development and to elaborate
corresponding ways for the sphere's improvement.
The RA Prime Minister introduced the current situation in the
international and RA economic sphere, the coming years' expectations,
and the basic steps of the authorities' economic policy in certain
situations. Surely, Nagorno Karabakh will make a part of this policy.
Speaking of the significance of holding economic forums in Artsakh, S.
Sargsian noted the necessity of using additional efforts for increasing
the participants' number every year and expanding the geography, as
the best business-projects are often born during similar contacts. In
his turn, K. Yesayan introduced the economic situation in Artsakh,
the prospects and potential for development, as well as the economic
policy of the NKR Government.
The organizers of BRIDGE ARTSAKH conference consider it another bridge
connecting Nagorno Karabakh with the world. Thanks to it, different
countries' businessmen will have the chance to familiarize in place
with Artsakh's economic potential and investment possibilities. It
will allow the Artsakh Republic to create new jobs and launch
numerous economic programs. The representatives of both Republics'
Governments called upon the businessmen to be more active in the
investment process, noting their readiness to discuss any constructive
proposal and to launch them if the state considers it expedient. After
the plenary session, the issues and proposals raised as a result of
different-topic sectional sittings were summarized.
The conference was completed on October 3.
