Elsewhere in her remarks, Jelodarzadeh said today we are in transition from traditional economy to a modern one and cooperatives are the best ways for passing through traditional economy, adding unfortunately the country’s clothing cooperatives cannot still hold fashion show, so how are they going to compete with neighbouring markets.
