YEREVAN, AUGUST 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian government has allocated
a 8 thousand square-meter area in Yerevan’s Shengavit community to

with the aim of establishing an exhibition center. The chairman of
the RA Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) Martin Sargsian said
at the August 2 meeting with the delegation of Germany’s CCI and
representatives of Cronimet company that the complex will include
business centers, exhibition and conference halls, as well as a customs
point where imported goods to be presented at business exhibitions
will be customs cleared.

In the words of M. Sargsian, the CCI is currently conducting
negotiations concerning attraction of necessary investments with
several companies from Czech Republic, Russia and Iran.

As regards the priorities of the RA CCI, Martin Sargsian pointed out
assistance for creation of small agricultural processing plants in

avoid a negative impact on the quality of purchased products during
their transportation.
