YEREVAN. – The water of Armenia does not affect the quality and taste of Coca-Cola, the managers of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottlers Armenia Company told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“Water does not have an effect on our product because we do not use water that is in its initial state. It goes through several processing phases,” they noted.      

The “gassed [beverage] patriotism,” according to which “all colas are good, but the Armenian [ones] are the best,” does not work in this case.   

“For several years we are recognized as the best among the producers in the region, but [this] owing to our own work, and not to the quality of water,” the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottlers Armenia Company managers assured.
