Strict control is conducted in all borderline areas of the republic
in order to avoid bird flue, agriculture ministry food safety and
veterinary state inspection head, Grisha Baghyan, told Panorama.am.
After several reports on bird flue in Turkey and Georgia, the control
has become stricter, Baghyan said. "In the course of three years the
check points have always been under control. However, the recent cases
of bird flue reported in Turkey made us to make the control stricter
and to engage in preventive works," inspection head said.
In his words, the frontier soldiers are assigned to shoot on birds crossing
the border.
However, the expert believes the danger of bird flue is
increasing in Armenia connected with bird migration.
The expert also said everything is done to avoid the infection.
