WILL INDIA SHOOT FILMS IN ARMENIA?
India annually shoots 1500 films, 300 of which are shot outside the national scenery, Indian ambassador to Armenia, Deepak Vohra, told a farewell press conference yesterday and posed a question, "Why shouldn't we shoot them in Armenia?" The ambassador will take videotapes and pictures featuring Armenia's places of interest to India to show filmmaking companies. The next sphere that demands development in Armenia, ambassador Vohra said, is tourism. He said that 20 million people leave India as tourists for other countries and said that it would be good to see a few thousands of them visiting Armenia.
The press conference was dedicated to Armenian-Indian relations as Mr. Vohra is preparing to leave the post. Speaking of bilateral relations, the Indian ambassador said that good circulation between the two states has increased for 6 times since 2002 and will likely reach the mark of $12 million. Armenia is more actively importing Indian goods than exporting Armenian ones. But export of Armenian goods is increasing. As Mr. Vohra noted, Armenia not only exports metals but also electric equipment and computer software. The ambassador thinks that Armenian wine and fruits will have brisk demand in India.
Answering daily Azg's question about Armenian-Indian cooperation in the sphere of diamond cutting, the ambassador said that though they had problems with rough diamond Indian businessmen decided not to close the two enterprises in Armenia. He assured that they will make new investments in these enterprises. Mr. Vohra thinks that Armenia has great potential in the sphere of informational technologies. Highlighting another sphere, leather processing, he said that cooperation failed despite all efforts. But the Indian leather still enters Armenia through Italy. "I am leaving this sphere to the next ambassador" the Indian ambassador said. "I am leaving here my heart, take care of it. I will return one day", said Deepak Vohra in fluent Armenian.
