ArmInfo. Yerevan. Emmanuil Mkrtchyan. Over 120 companies are participating in the trade and industry exhibition forum ARMENIA EXPO 2016, which opened in Yerevan on September 16. The representatives of the business community of Armenia and the heads of the diplomatic missions and trade representations in the republic made speeches at the official opening ceremony. The guests received an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the products of the companies and enterprises from Armenia, Iran, Belarus, Russia, China, Georgia, Germany, Lithuania. The largest pavilion site has been rented by the travel agencies of the Czech Republic, which seeks to increase the number of Armenian tourists, who visit that country for a vacation or treatment.
The exhibition features the models of products of electrotechnical and machine-building enterprises of Russia, Germany, as well as the light industry products of Belarus. The Iranian automobile makers present new present-day models of IRAN Khodro. The Armenian production is represented mostly by the goods of agriculture processing, except for the robot, which cleans windows by itself. To all appearances, the local producers' interest in the international exhibition of major manufacturers was not high. Representatives of sanitary engineering of Iran and Europe present quite interesting products. Most of the foreign brands are represented by the Armenian distributors. So, the event can be called a trade exhibition rather than a production one.
