Armenian pig farmers who slaughtered their animals in prevention of
swine fever have launched complaints that state compensation not been
distributed properly, Armenia Now has reported.

The procedure of the financial support distribution is over, but the
complaints of the pig farmers are not. The village, where the first
case of African swine fever was registered is among the protesters.

The virus was found in 702 pigs in the village; the owners of 420 of
them have not received compensation.

According to a governmental decision passed earlier in 2008 the state
budget has allotted 480 million drams (â~B¬978,222) to the communities
of the republic who suffered from swine fever.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
