production, procession and export of ecologically pure organic
foodstuffs, and the state should create favorable conditions for using
this potential. The Armenian President Robert Kocharian stated this

to Ararat marz.
In a response to a question of NT correspondent, he said that several
programs on organic food production already started in Armenia. R.
Kocharian indicated the program implemented by Argentinian Armenian
businessman Eduardo Ernekian in Armavir marz as the most successful
of these programs.
"We are ready to create favorable conditions, we are asssiting with the
process to produce good results: then farmers should decide themselves
which is more beneficial – to produce less but 5 times as expensive
production than now," he said.

development, and "innovations may have quite an efficient and favorable
effect in terms of developing the country’s economy."
