AJA efforts aimed at free economic zone creation in Armenia

Armenian Jewelers Association (AJA) has hopes and programs to be implemented in Armenia.

“Firstly, it is creation of free economic zone within next two years through the joint efforts of AJA and the RA government to help jewelers all over the world establish their business in Armenia, thus creating job and export opportunities,” AJA President Gagik Gevorgyan told journalists on September 21.

According to him, AJA plans large-scale training programs “to prepare designers to be the pride of our nation.” Here he emphasized that celebrities highly appreciate Armenian jewelers’ works.

“I assure you, there is no celebrity, who does not have his/her Armenian jeweler. Armenian jeweler’s piece serves as talisman for the owner and is believed to bring good luck,” AJA President emphasized.

Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan attended the exhibition of Armenian Jewelers Association (AJA) that opened in Yerevan on occasion of the 20th anniversary of Armenia’s independence. The exhibition will see its end on September 23.
