On September 22-24 Pan Armenia EXPO 2006 will be held in Yerevan in
the framework of the third Armenia-Diaspora forum. The director of the
Development Agency of Artsakh A. Avagian said the agency has rented
and laid out a stand for presenting NKR. "Considering the number
of participants, and the variety of spheres presented, I think it
will be useful for NKR companies to participate in it. Later it will
provide greater possibilities for increasing the market and promoting
business relations with the Diaspora," said A. Avagian.

This expo will involve IT, tourism, health services, food processing,
innovative technologies, building, industries, mining industry,
education and science. The products produced in NKR will also be
presented in Toronto, Canada. In 2005 the members of the Board of
Armenian Businessmen of Canada visited Artsakh. Together with the
Development Agency of Artsakh they visited different companies and
proposed them to take part in the expo Made in Armenia in Toronto,
Canada in early October. The purpose of this event is to present the
economic possibilities of Armenia and Artsakh in a larger environment
to facilitate the outlook for new partners, new investments, and new
markets. We learned from the director of the DAA that the products,
including canned food, natural juice, shoes were sent to Canada.

Alcohol drinks will not be included in the expo. Besides, brochures
with information on traveling and business in Artsakh were sent.
