ARMENIAN MP CONCERNED OVER ATTITUDE TO ARMENIAN COGNAC
17:26 ~U 05.06.13
Alexan Petrosyan, an MP from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA), is surprised at the Armenian government's attitude to Armenian
cognac.
Specifically, the government does not take any steps to bring its
past glory back to Armenian cognac.
"Armenian cognac must be liable to excise tax. Nowhere in the world
are empty bottles liable to excise tax, but filled with cognac,
they become liable to excise tax," Petrosyan said.
As regards export, the major problem is that the entire world produces
what you produce.
"In this case, your cost of production is high, energy is expensive.
So what's your hope for sale?"
"At present, products must be of high quality, up-to-date and
competitive. None of the three conditions is being met here," said
Petrosyan.
"A bottle of wine exported from Moldova to Moscow is $0.06, while a
bottle of wine exported from Armenia is $0.6," he said.
Petrosyan is concerned over the fact that Armenia has no relevant
agreements on participation in exhibitions in different countries.
