Armenian honey was recognized the best at the Festival of Tea and Honey
in Tbilisi on 7 October. The two-day-long festivities were timed to
Tbilisoba, an annual October festival in Tbilisi celebrating diversity
and attracting many people from the capital and across the country. The
winner of the Festival was David Movsisyan, a 56-year-old beekeeper
from the village of Beniamin, Shirak region, Armenia. The Armenian
honey was presented also by a beekeeper-specialist of Multi-Agro
Company Hovhanness Petoyan.
ArmInfo's correspondent reports from Tbilisi that the second prize
went to the representative of the Turkish beekeeping company Antik
Ani Bal from Kars, Adem Ertac. The winners were selected via voting of
visitors who tasted the honey samples from Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh,
Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Georgia.
Various types of teas and bee-products were presented at the Festival.
Caucasus tea - a set of teas and herbs from different regions of the
South Caucasus - was presented at the event. Under the brand Caucasus
Cheese Georgian, Armenians and Turkish cheese-makers presented a new
type of cheese produced at Ashotsk Cheese Factory. A collection of
wines from wine-growing regions of the South Caucasus produced at
Oshakan Winnery was introduced under the brand Caucasus Bouquet. As
previously, the Caucasian brands (cheese, tea, honey and wine)
introduced by the Caucasus Business and Development Network (CBDN)
got a lot of interest because of their regional format.
"We are very happy to present a pack of the Caucasian tea instead of
a report on the results of the big and interesting work we carried
out within the frames of the Festival. It is the best evidence of
the fruitfulness of our modest efforts to facilitate the dialogue
and cooperation of businessmen in the South Caucasus," says Oskari
Pentikainen, Senior Programme Officer at International Alert.
The Festival of Tea and Honey was organized by CBDN to promote
Caucasus brands. Established in 2005, CBDN has regional offices in
Yerevan, Baku, Gyumri, Stepanakert, Kutaisi, Kars, Tbilisi, Sukhum/i,
Tskhinval/i. CBDN Yerevan Office was represented by the Institute for
Civil Society and Regional Development. All the initiatives of CBDN
supported by International Alert aim to make a positive contribution
and follow the principles of do-no-harm. Caucasus Business and
Development Network promotes peace-building through regional economic
cooperation and dialogue between all business communities across the
South Caucasus.
