Georgia has no right to register a brand “Georgia-cradle of wine”, as
there is no such structure which can register such a brand with a right
of intellectual property, the head of Industrial Policy Department
of Armenia’s Economy Ministry, Hayk Mirzoyan, told journalists today
when commenting on publications in the Georgian press, according to
which wine presses and vessels of III-II millenniums BC were found
by archaeologists in Georgia. The registration of Georgia like “a
cradle of wine” will give a right to come forward like an ancient
wine country.
Mirzoyan assured that wine was produced in Armenia 6 thousand years
ago. The digging in Areni cave of Vayots Dzor region of Armenia and
scientific publications are evidence of that. “Not countries but
legal and individual persons may register intellectual property”, –
Mirzoyan said.
