SERBIAN PRESIDENT VISITS YEREVAN BRANDY COMPANY
YEREVAN, October 13. / ARKA /. Before wrapping up a two-day official
visit to Armenia, the president of Serbia, Tomislav Nikolic and his
entourage were hosted October 12 by the French-owned Yerevan Brandy
Company in Yerevan.
The Serbian delegation toured around the factory and were told about
its history and achievements.
President Nikolic was introduced to the "Barrel of Peace," a cask
containing brandy from 1994, when Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to
a cease-fire.
The cask was sealed in 2001, when the US, Russian and French
chairpersons of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe's Minsk Group, the body overseeing the Karabakh talks, visited
Yerevan and toured the factory. The brandy-makers vowed to open the
barrel when the Karabakh conflict is resolved.
Also a barrel was filled with brandy in the honor of president
Nikolic. He is the 27th president to have a personal barrel of brandy
at Yerevan Brandy Company. The Serbian president was given a gift,
an exclusive bottle of Ararat brandy prepared from the oldest spirit
held at the factory.
The Yerevan Brandy Company is the exclusive producer of ARARAT
Brandies and the direct successor of Armenian brandy-making traditions,
established in 1887. Yerevan Brandy Company is the biggest taxpayer
of the field and the biggest grape buyer.
In 1999 Yerevan Brandy Company joined the Pernod Ricard Group, the
world co-leader of the Wine & Spirits industry, which unites such
brands as Chivas, Absolut, Martell, Jameson and others.-0-
