    <Category: Retail> During the BaselWorld 2004 Watch and Jewelry Show,
    the Armenian Jewellers Association (AJA) held its annual meeting and
    dinner, attended by about 100 members and their guests. Guest speaker
    Pierre Gurdjian, director of McKinsey Co, Brussels, introduced the

    Armenia 2020 project, which focuses on identifying alternative
    development models for Armenia with a view to contributing to
    Armenia's future economic development. Gurdjian commented specifically
    on the dynamics of marketing in the diamond and jewelry industry and
    outlining strategies for survival in a rapidly changing industry. The
    annual AJA awards for 2004 honored Vartan Sirmakes, managing director
    and co-founder of Franck Muller, Geneva, who received the Lifetime
    Achievement Award for his contribution to the Swiss luxury watch
    industry; Vahe Isnar, Lily Jewelry Manufacturing, Toronto, who was
    recognized for his contribution to the development of the jewelry
    industry in the Republic of Armenia; and Melkon Hagopian, Hagopian
    Jewels, Beirut, who was named Designer of the Year in recognition of
    his creativity in jewelry design. The board announced that it would
    hold its next meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, on Oct. 22, 2004, to
    coincide with a special one-day conference (scheduled for Oct. 23,
    2004) on jewelry industry matters hosted by the government and
    organized by AJA. For more information, e-mail:
