    GEVORGYAN: ARMENIA MAY INCREASE ITS JEWELRY OUTPUT MANY TIMES AFTER JOINING CUSTOMS UNION

    YEREVAN, December 4. /ARKA/. Armenia may increase its jewelry output
    many times after it joins the Customs Union, Gagik Gevorgyan, the
    president of the Armenian Jewelers Association, told ARKA News Agency.

    He said Armenia's jewelry industry will get an excellent opportunity
    for growth.

    "Today Armenian goods legally reach Russia's market, which is quite
    closed, with difficulties, while after joining the Customs Union
    there will be no customs problems..." he said.

    Gevorgyan said Armenia's jewelers will be able to export their products
    to Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

    to produce as much jewelry as needed, but it is difficult to reach
    foreign markets," he said.

    counterpart, Vladimir Putin, made a joint statement, according to
    which Armenia has decided to join the Customs Union and to take part
    in formation of the Eurasian Union in the future.

    21.8% year-on-year growth.

    jewelry made of them amounted to $155.2 million in Jan-Oct 2013
