Georgia is creating problems for the export of a certain sort of Armenian wines to Russia. This is what President of the National Wine Center of Armenia Avag Harutyunyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to him, there are problems with the import of wines made from the Armenian sorts of the “Kakhet” and “Mskhali” grapes into Georgia which have to be transported to Russia later.

Harutyunyan clarified that he doesn’t know if the problems are being solved or not, but there are problems linked to inspections.

“Georgia thinks the potential customers are misled and says the Armenian wines allegedly look like wines made from Georgian sorts of grapes. However, neither “Kakhet” nor “Mskhali” is a Georgian sort. The Georgians think we Armenians are violating their laws. This can’t be referred to as positive in any way,” the wine expert noted.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
