President Armen Sarkissian, who is in Armenia’s second largest city of Gyumri on a working trip, has today visited the Gyumri Educational and Production Enterprise of the Armenia Union of the Blind producing oil paints and dyes from natural raw materials.

During the visit, the president talked to the members of the union and the employees involved in the production of paints and familiarized himself with the paint production technology and the programs toward expanding the facility’s activity.

The project is also of social significance, since it opens new jobs mostly for people with disabilities, the presidential office said.

President Sarkissian donated 6,000,000 drams to expand the projects of the enterprise.

Members of the blind union gifted an oil canvas made with their production to the president. Sarkissian said the painting will be placed in his office.
