Armenia plans to set up isotope laboratories by 2025 to ensure the quality of its cognac for export, according to Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan. This move aims to address quality issues, especially in Russia, where a study revealed that nearly 90% of Armenian cognacs in stores were unsafe. Papoyan stressed the need to improve cognac quality and mentioned potential partnerships with international companies if local labs cannot be established. He also noted that there have been no official complaints about cognac exports to Russia.
