CYPRUS BANS ARMENIAN JERMUK WATER

Financial Mirror, Cyprus

The Cyprus Health Services said that a brand of mineral water from
Armenia was harmful to the health of consumers and was to be withdrawn
from the market immediately. A statement said consumers should not
drink the water bottled under the name Jermuk Group with an expiry
date of November 15, 2008. The water comes in a half litre green
glass bottle, and the importers have been asked to withdraw it from
the market.

The ruling follows a similar move by the authorities in the US,
where the same make was banned.
