Belarus has banned the import and sale of Armenian cognac Since October 31, Belarus has introduced a ban on the import and sale of seven-year-old Armenian cognac, as well as eight-year-old Georgian cognac. This was reported by the State Commission for Standardization of the Republic. This is not the first such case in recent times. Previously, the department had already withdrawn from sale in Belarus the eight-year-old "Yervan 2800" cognac produced by MAP CJSC, as well as the six-year-old "Armenian cognac" of the Shekhanazarian brand.
