Nerses Yeritsyan: Armenia’s diamond processing industry needs upgrading

Armenia’s diamond processing industry needs upgrading, both in management and raw material supply diversification, Armenia’s Economy Minister Nerses Yeritsyan said.

“Armenia should go beyond diamond processing. Armenia’s 2-3% of jewelry production market share could be increased through production of jewelry and watches, where diamonds are used as raw materials. This would allow for added value increase in diamond processing industry,” he said.
