Yerevan brandy company maintains last year output and increases profit
by 14% in 2008/2009

YEREVAN, September 12. /ARKA/. Yerevan Brandy Company managed to
maintain last production output of 4 million liters and to increase its
profit by 14% up to 17 billion drams in 2008/2009 financial year
despite financial and economic crisis, Executive Director of the
company Ara Grigoryan said.

Export activities have been also maintained from the last year and even
a negligible increase has been recorded, Grigoryan said.

Increase in profits along with unchanged production activities was
recorded mainly due to change in foreign currency rate. Product cost
and sales of profitable brandy kinds also had some small contribution
to the increase.

Yet, the company also experienced the crisis effects: it failed to
reach the ambitious 18% growth panned in the beginning of the year,
Grigoryan said.

Even a 50% decline was recorded in production as of the end of
July-August of 2009/2010 financial year as compared with the last year
level.

The problem is that Russian market is the main one for Yerevan Brandy
Company and it is not know when it will start stabilizing, Grigoryan
said.

He also reported that no staff reduction was recorded in the company in
2008/2009 financial year. The company continues providing a full social
security package to its employees, including health insurance, life
insurance and insurance against ac
cidents.

As a result of the audit carried out by a prestigious international
audit company, Yerevan Brandy Company received ISO 14001 environment
management system certificate and OHSAS 18001 human health and safety
certificate.

Yerevan Brandy Company was founded in 1887. The modern factory complex
was put in operation in 1953.

In June 1998 the company joined the Pernod Ricard group, an
international corporation owning a number of famous alcoholic drink
trademark and ranking the second in the world in production and sales
of alcoholic drinks. Pernod Ricard purchased the Yerevan Brandy Company
for $30mln at an international tender. ($1=377.11drams). `0–

JEWISH LOBBY PROMOTING CENSORSHIP AT OCTOBER 6 CONFERENCE IN EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

kuruc.info
sept 10 2009

As usual the traditional opponents of free speech have found some
useful idiots to make the whole censorship thing smell a little less
Jewish. On this occasion they also recruited representatives of the
Armenians and a Hutu Tutsi organization based in France. The Armenians
surely are ‘useful idiots’, since the Jewish state Israel does not
recognize the Armenian holocaust as genocide, probably because of its
close ties to the Turkish government (and perhaps because Jews also
played the role of henchman in this orgy of murder because of the
Jewish influence in the Young Turks movement). Abraham Foxman, the
director of the most influential Zionist pro-censorship organization
ADL even campaigned against recognition of the Armenian holocaust,
amongst others because the holocaust of the Jews thereby would loose
some of its exceptional status.

Brussels: October 6 there will be held a conference about ‘holocaust
denial’ in the EU-Parliament The conference is being organized by
the Jewish Laic Community Centre (Belgium), the European Armenian
Federation, and the French based IBUKA (apparently a Hutu Tutsi
organization) In an announcement from CRIF, the French Counterpart of
the Central Council of Jews in Germany’ it said on September 7: ‘This
conference takes place in connection with the planned paneuropean
penalization of critical views pertaining to certain aspects of
history as seen by Jewish and Zionist special interest groups.

The so called Framework Decision of the European Union, which enforces
criminal prosecution of opponents of government prescribed history
enforced by EU countries must be transposed in the 27 Member States
legislations before the end of 2010.

Holocaust denial and Democracy in Europe The conference titled
‘Holocaustdenial and Democracy i Europe’ is held under the patronage
of the infamous German anti-free speech activist and man hunter Elmar
Brok (CDU), aims at convincing politicians in the European Union
why appreciations of history which are not comliant with the views
of Jewish and Zionist special interest groups, left wingers, and
multicult fanatics are ‘a perversion of free speech’, and ‘a threat
to the fundamentals of the democratic society’. [All right, I got
it. Free speech is a threat to democracy, or should I say judeocracy?]
The politically responsible judiciary, historians and social scientists
– great opponents of none Jewish authorized opinions about history,
will present the comparable items among competing views about several
different alleged genocides.

Their aim is to convince European leaders of the necessity to expand
provisions in criminal law dealing with ‘denial of genocide in all
areas’, as planned in the EU resolution.

Joining the conference is free, but it is only possible to join by
registering before September 28. Join here [One even has to disclose
ones passport number – Remember this conference is taking place in
Belgium, where the slightest doubt of Jewish versions of history
is a criminal act] (Please note that the article above is not a
translation. I have chosen in many instances to replace terms and
expressions which are defamatory towards non-Jewish white intellectuals
with a description of what those hateful and defamatory expressions
really mean.) (Blog.balder.org)

VERCAUTEREN QUITS AFTER ARMENIA UPSET

ESPN STAR Sports
Sept 9 2009

Franky Vercauteren stood down as interim Belgium coach in the wake
of his side’s humbling 2-1 defeat to Armenia.

Vercauteren had been in the role since the dismissal of Rene
Vandereycken in April and was due to quit the post in January, with
Dutch coach Dick Advocaat to take up the reins.

"After the 2-1 defeat against Armenia, the Red Devils coach Frank
Vercauteren decided to resign," read a statement on the Belgian
FA website.

Belgium lost 5-0 to Spain on Saturday and were stunned tonight as
Armenia claimed their first win of the campaign thanks to goals from
Hovhannes Goharyan and Sargis Hovsepyan.

Bayern Munich defender Daniel van Buyten pulled one back for Belgium
in second-half stoppage time but it was not enough to prevent the
1986 World Cup semi-finalists’ miserable campaign sinking to a new low.

The Red Devils are fourth in the group with seven points from eight
matches, 17 points behind group winners Spain.
