US embassy cable - 05YEREVAN1807

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(SBU) On October 4 we delivered reftel points to Deputy 
Minister of Trade and Economic Development Tigran Davtyan. 
Davtyan told us he does not believe that Armenia has specific 
wood packaging material regulations and that the majority of 
imports to Armenia are packaged in plastic.  He recognized 
the benefits of consistent regulation across WTO member 
states and said he would discuss with representatives from 
the WTO whether further GOAM action on this issue is 
warranted.
