There are many cases of birds, especially of crows deaths in the places
“Lits” and “Avtokajan” in Gyumri.
There are many crow nests in these areas, and as it turned out the
death of the crows was determined by pecking.
Preventive measures against bird flu are being taken in Shirak
marz. The chief of the Shirak hygienic and anti-epidemic board Karine
Tairyan claims that they have been controlling the customs offices
since December.
According to the Shirak State Veterinary Department Board chief Gagik
Sargsyan they hold a thorough observation of each bird they find. So
far there have been no cases of bird flu. The food and goods sold in
the region markets are checked every day. The board only checks the
goods and food the owners of which have contracts with the veterinary
service. But there are places where illegal goods are sold, let us
take “the corridor of Lachin” for instance. Gagik Sargsyan deems it an
illegal territory which remains aside from their everyday checks.
