    SERBIAN PRESIDENT VISITS YEREVAN BRANDY COMPANY

    YEREVAN, October 13. / ARKA /. Before wrapping up a two-day official
    visit to Armenia, the president of Serbia, Tomislav Nikolic and his
    entourage were hosted October 12 by the French-owned Yerevan Brandy
    Company in Yerevan.

    The Serbian delegation toured around the factory and were told about
    its history and achievements.

    President Nikolic was introduced to the "Barrel of Peace," a cask
    containing brandy from 1994, when Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to
    a cease-fire.

    The cask was sealed in 2001, when the US, Russian and French
    chairpersons of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
    Europe's Minsk Group, the body overseeing the Karabakh talks, visited
    Yerevan and toured the factory. The brandy-makers vowed to open the
    barrel when the Karabakh conflict is resolved.

    Also a barrel was filled with brandy in the honor of president
    Nikolic. He is the 27th president to have a personal barrel of brandy
    at Yerevan Brandy Company. The Serbian president was given a gift,
    an exclusive bottle of Ararat brandy prepared from the oldest spirit
    held at the factory.

    The Yerevan Brandy Company is the exclusive producer of ARARAT
    Brandies and the direct successor of Armenian brandy-making traditions,
    established in 1887. Yerevan Brandy Company is the biggest taxpayer
    of the field and the biggest grape buyer.

    In 1999 Yerevan Brandy Company joined the Pernod Ricard Group, the
    world co-leader of the Wine & Spirits industry, which unites such
    brands as Chivas, Absolut, Martell, Jameson and others.-0-
