According to the head of the National Wine Center Avag Harutyunyan, after the velvet revolution, corruption and the number of organizations in the spheres of alcoholic drinks, wine, brandy, whiskey, beer production and export have drastically decreased.
“The market has been cleaned, there is no the basis that would allow producing and exporting fake cognac. For the first time in the last 100 years, we have the opportunity to fully abandon fake products. Last time, we were ‘clean’ in 1913, when there was no sense to falsify. Then there was a bright time during the Dashnaktsutyun leadership, and after World War II, the ups and downs, which ended one or two months ago,” said Avag Harutyunyan.
