We certainly don't want to exterminate the Kroonks and the Aragils.

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 10, ARMENPRESS: Armenian health authorities have

developed a national program of measures to withstand a potential

outbreak of bird flu and will send it to government approval. Cases

of bird flu reported last week by Romania and Turkey have increased

fears that it may reach Armenia.

 

Lilit Asatrian, head of a health ministry department, said experts

fear the H5N1 virus could mutate into one which spreads easily among

humans, creating a pandemic that might kill millions. Last week Turk

television quoted Turkish farm minister Mehdi Eker as saying bird

flu had been discovered in Turkey for the first time. The television

station said turkeys had died of the disease on a farm in Balikesir

province near the Aegean Sea in western Turkey.

 

According to Lilit Asatrian, examinations were conducted in all large

poultry farms in Armenia to identify their readiness in case of an

outbreak of the disease. She said agricultural ministry has promised

to report about any case of birds deaths.

 

Asatrian said there is a lot has be done to be prepared for the

disease's possible spread into Armenia-to set up laboratories and

prepare personnel.

 

She said Armenian health authorities expect WHO's assistance to

implement the anti-bird flu program.

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. :)

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
