YEREVAN, July 22. / ARKA /. The Armenian government on Thursday made a clarification to the decision taken on May 20 on the definition of a new commercial name for the Armenian brandy, which will be produced under the name "Arbun" (from the Armenian word "to get drunk").
The new trade name for the brand, as explained in the government decision, is isntroduced to distinguish the Armenian brandy for the consumers in the market from foreign products.
As explained by the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, the earlier decision provoked various comments and understanding in society.
"The main purpose of decisions taken today is to protect our quality of brandy and its producers. Through this decision of the government, the producers may not call their products Armenian cognac if it has used imported brandy in the production process," he said.
Sargsyan stressed that the Armenian cognac may be cited as products manufactured using only domestic raw materials.
Arbun, as the chairman said, will be referred to products made with the use of foreign raw materials.
"Thus, we protect the interests of producers of high quality Armenian cognac," said Sargsyan.
Because of the emerged comments after the government decision on May 20, the Yerevan Brandy Company (YBC) urged not to confuse the name "Armenian brandy” with a new name “Arbun”, noting that the decision of the Government aims to maximize the distinction between “Armenian cognac” (“Armenian brandy”) from the concept of “brandy”. - 0 -
