They try to cheat workers in Armenia: Syrian Armenian (video)
Three Syrian Armenian friends opened shoe factory in Yerevan. Gevorg Safar is the shoe designer. He learnt the skills from his grandfather and father. His models even appeared on famous Italian magazines. Now the production is consumed only in Armenia and only in some shops. They want to export their products into Russian market: joining the EEU made them very happy. They bring raw materials from Turkey, as there is no production of leather, sole and other materials in Armenia. Andranik Safar’s father wonders why famous shoe factories aren’t restored, “Why must we go to Turkey and make their country powerful so that they can earn money due to us. What do we lack? Let’s bring raw materials from abroad and let them work here,”- says Gevorg Safar. They say that the best masters of Armenia work here. Andranik Safar makes sure that they try to support them as much as they can, “They try to cheat workers in Armenia. But the craftsman must go to work and return home with pleasure. This is important for us.” At first it is difficult for Syrian Armenian young people to work in Armenia, lifestyle, outlooks, taste differ and what’s the most important, “Confidence is the most important, which is very difficult to find here,”- says Andranik Safar.
