OREANDA-NEWS. August 23, 2012. Sorochyntsi Fair has the potential to rank itself among the most famous fairs in the world - we need a modern infrastructure and marketing. The Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov said this at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

PM recalled that he visited Sorochyntsi Fair last week, where were presented by more than 700 enterprises and craftsmen from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Germany, and Poland. The Fair was visited by over a million people.

Mykola Azarov noted that “on the one hand, it is emotionally strong folk tradition, and on the other - is sufficiently meaningful economic event” which has the potential to rank itself among the most famous fairs. He said that Milan International Fair or World Fair in Toronto, also, once started as a sale of goods by local craftsmen. And now the fairs are known over the world.

“So let's appreciate and develop what we do well” – he stressed.
