BIG INTERNATIONAL JEWELRY EXHIBITION TO BE HELD IN YEREVAN IN OCTOBER
2007

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. A big international jewelry
exhibition will be held in Yerevan in mid October 2007. The Armenian
Jewelers Association (AJA) is the event’s organizer. Gagik Mkrtchian,
Head of the Gem and Jewelry Department of the RA Ministry of Trade and
Economic Development, stated this.

According to him, AJA has developed the program on preparation and
holding of the exhibition, which was discussed by the AJA Board during
the annual international exhibition in the Italian city of Vicenza on
January 12-14, 2007.

G. Mkrtchain attached importance to AJA’s work done among Vicenza
exhibition organizers, thanks to which the latter agreed to assist
with the organization of the Yerevan exhibition.

It was mentioned that AJA will send invitations to all countries
considered as a gem and jewelry making center, asking them to
participate in the exhibition. "We must rule out any tax or customs
red tape when receiving the exhibition participants in order to make
this event a traditional one," G. Mkrtchian underlined.
