gamavor Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 We will more and more appretiate the fact that Armenian - Turkish border is closed.

gamavor Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 We will more and more appretiate the fact that Armenian - Turkish border is closed. Lets make sure that not even a bird can fly over! Let all the "birds" (a.k.a turks fly to Europe). BTW, Iran also closed the border with Turkey, soon others will follow...It should be noted that in economy, statistics and math in general, double negative is always positive.

phantom22 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 [January 08, 2006] U.S. advises its citizens in Armenia to avoid contacts with poultry (Interfax News Agency Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)YEREVAN. Jan 7 (Interfax) - The United States has recommended its citizens that they avoid contacts with poultry in Armenia in light of the recent outbreak of avian influenza, or bird flu, in a neighboring Turkey, the U.S. Embassy to Armenia said in a statement on Saturday. The statement says the Armenian government earlier assured the public that no confirmed bird flu cases in poultry or humans had been recorded in Armenia. However, taking into account the situation in a neighboring Turkey, the embassy said it advised U.S. citizens to avoid any contacts with poultry or wild birds and refrain from visiting poultry farms or markets at which poultry is sold. The embassy recalled that a number of bird flu cases had lately been recorded in Turkey 55 kilometers from the border with Armenia. va [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom22 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Does any one know what the situation in ROA is? We certainly don't want to exterminate the Kroonks and the Aragils. At this point in time we really don't have any other choice, and this is coming from an avid anti-vivisectionist vegetarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
