ArmInfo. A well-known filmmaker Emir Kusturica, being in Yerevan
within the frames of the concert of "The No Smoking Orchestra" group,
visited Yerevan Brandy Company on Saturday March 6.
As YBC told ArmInfo, the filmmaker walked through the company’s
maturity workshop and got acquainted with the history and the process
of production of ArArAt brandy. E. Kusturica also stopped at the
Barrel of Peace, where a cognac spirit of 1994 is matured and which
symbolizes signing of armistice. The barrel is named a Barrel of Peace
as it will be opened on the day of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict. E. Kusturica also tasted ArArAt brandy in the maturity
workshop. As he said, Armenia should be proud of such production.
According to the tradition, YBC presented a 25-year held ArArAt
brandy to E. Kusturica as a gift. To note, Yerevan Brandy Company
is an official partner of the concert of "The No Smoking Orchestra"
group in Yerevan.
