THE PRIME MINISTER OF ARMENIA VISITED GRAND CANDY ENTERPRISE

T uesday, 24 November 2009

RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited today Grand Candy
enterprise. The head of government called at the factory’s printing
house, walked round the confectionery shops to get a first-hand view
of technological and manufacturing processes.

Following the tour of the factory, the head of government answered
journalists’ questions. He said in particular: "Today Grand Candy is a
successfully developing entity with thousands of jobs available. The
bulk of raw material procurements are made to domestic suppliers
considering that this can foster other sectors, too, inclusive
of agriculture. I believe this will open up good development
prospects because by entering into closer cooperation with domestic
manufacturers, "Grand Candy" can lower the cost-price of its output
and have a competitive edge.

Asked about the soviet-era trademarks used by the Company especially
for chocolates, due to which Russian- or Ukrainian-make products of
the same name cannot be imported into Armenia, the head of government
noted: "This is a result of natural competition conducted in line
with the market rules. We should see that the competition is fair
and consistent with relevant laws to the benefit of our consumers
and citizens. The State is called to ensure that accurate rules are
applied as changing regulations may impair the competition and oust
individual manufacturers from the market. Indeed, we will continue
seeing that the rules go unchanged to keep the Company safe from
possible interventions."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
