Coming of the French Pernod Ricard company (owner of Yerevan brandy
factory) to Armenia has stopped total falsification of Armenian brandy,
chairman of the Union of Armenian Winemakers, Avag Harutyunyan,
said at today's press-conference.
He said that in 80-90-s Armenian brandy was falsified not only in
Armenia but also in Russia. The total of 90% of Armenian brandy was
falsified, he said and added that 6-7 time more of Armenian brandy
was sold in Russia than it was produced in Armenia. In 2002-2005 the
mass falsification was stopped by the efforts of Pernod Ricard. At the
same time, he added that nevertheless Armenian brandy is falsified
today but chiefly in Armenia. There are Armenian businessmen which
sell Armenian brandy in Russia for 220-250 roubles, which is a very
low price for the original brandy.
He said that all the trade bargains on a falsified brandy are
implemented on mutual agreed conditions of a producer in Armenia
and a sales company in Russia. "Today they falsify on mutual agreed
conditions. And all the links of the trade chain and even in the top
state instances are aware of that", - Harutyunyan said.
