Jewelries of the Armenian workers are valuable not only because they are hand-made, but also because they are penetrated with an ancient culture of the Armenian nation.
“That’s why we seek to gather them and return to business sphere of Armenia, and a free trading area will be an important aspect for achieving this goal,” he added.
