Armenia Small and Medium Enterprise Market Development Project has organized the 'Armenian Woman in Business 2006' trade exhibition, with financial support from USAID in Yerevan.

Women are more than half the population in Armenia and they have to contribute to economic development of the country with their creative and flexible ideas.

Organization aims mainly at creating new jobs, supporting small enterprises through various kinds of consultancy to help them to improve sales.

Sixty businesswomen from different regions of Armenia are showing samples of their vocation in textile/clothing, handicraft, carpet, consultancy and other activities.

There were just 49 enterprises representing their businesses at the exhibition last year.

Traditional mentality in Armenia may reject the notion of woman in business but the Armenian women manages to combine those two things in a way that they complement each other instead of interfering with one another.

Women entrepreneurs believe it will be a challenge but not impossible to change the traditional image and role of woman in Armenia.
