YEREVAN. – While touring the Yerevan Show 2014 international jewelry exhibition being held in the Armenian capital city, President Serzh Sargsyan took a liking to the creations displayed at the stand of the Armenian Jewellers Association (AJA) Jewelry School in Yerevan.

The AJA Jewelry School conducts six-month charity workshops sponsored by the Armenian jewelers from around the world. The school is active for already two years, and it has 13-15 graduates each year.
