    Junior Achievement of Armenia Students Take Part in
    Junior Achievement Trade Fair in Romania

    `Belts,' the student company of Etchmiatzin School Number 4,
    represented Armenia's
    Junior Achievement Program at the annual JA-YE European Student Trade Fair
    from April 29 to March 1 at the capital of Romania. More than 76 companies
    from 30 European countries took part in the extravaganza - the annual
    competition that brings together the best of student companies to
    display their products. The event also gives the young entrepreneurs
    an opportunity to market their goods in a European city. Throughout
    the year, the students learn the theory of economics and apply their
    knowledge in creating student business companies. To this end, they
    conduct marketing research, issue stock to raise capital, manufacture
    the product, and develop marketing strategies.

    The students of Etchmiatzin School had created a unique product - a
    belt made of wooden beads that could also be used as a massage
    belt. The product survived a rigorous national competition in Armenia
    and was chosen to represent the country internationally.

    `We were so proud to
    have been chosen to participate in this prestigious event. We had
    worked very hard on establishing our business and were very happy to
    be rewarded for all of our work,' said Anoush Meykhanajyan, one of the
    student representatives.

    Anna Hovhannisyan, the designer of the product added, `I learned a lot
    from the experience. It is one thing to watch other people conduct
    business; it is another to actively do it. Our trip was so
    wonderful. We got to learn much from other student companies and our
    experiences in selling our product. We met wonderful people form all
    over the world and we made so many friends. We also very much enjoyed
    learning about Romania and its culture.'

    Armine K. Hovannisian, Executive Director of Junior Achievement of
    Armenia, accompanied the students on their five-day trip. `This is the
    third year that we are taking part in this very important event. We
    were honored that our nation's diplomatic representatives attended the
    trade fair and encouraged our students with their presence. We are
    also grateful to Cynthia Tusan, who made it possible for our students
    to continue taking part in this important event. I think the
    experience is priceless for those involved.'
