YEREVAN, August 8. /ARKA/. Armenia’s State Food Safety Service has denied today media reports claiming that 60% of 700 heads of cattle in the village of Dsegh in the province of Lori were infected with foot and mouth disease. The reports said that the outbreak affected also the cattle in another village of Debed.

The State Food Safety Service said it received no such signals from farmers or community heads. It said also that the National Center for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Laboratory Services, which is the only accredited laboratory in the country to diagnose animal diseases, did not identify any case of foot and mouth disease.

The agency said also that the disease can not be detected without conducting a laboratory analysis, and that media reports are not justified, while the use of the term "outbreak’ without experts is irresponsible.

Foot and mouth disease is an infectious disease characterized by fever, the appearance of vesicles and erosion on the mucous membrane of the mouth, as well as on the skin between the fingers and the nails. The most susceptible to infection are cows, horses, camels, dogs, cats and rodents. The main way of infection of people is through raw milk of sick animals or meat. -0-

Upstate NY's cutest zoo animal: Get to know the winner

By Allie Healy | [email protected]

After asking numerous zookeepers and park managers across the region to submit their cutest critter, we put all the adorable contestants into a poll and asked our readers to vote on their favorite. After a week-long run, the winner has been decided.

The winner of Upstate New York's cutest zoo animal is … Sahak from the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse.

Read on to learn more about Sahak, Armenian mouflons and how you can see him at the zoo!

Get to know Sahak from the Rosamond Gifford Zoo

Sahak is a baby Armenian Mouflon, a species of wild sheep that is threatened in its native habitat the mountains of Armenia, Northern Iran and Azerbaijan.

Sahak was born on May 18 at the Richmond Zoo in Virginia. The Syracuse zoo keepers named him Sahak, which is Armenian for Isaac. He's currently on part-time exhibit in the barn next to the Explorer’s Outpost. The ultimate plan is for Sahak to join the Takin exhibit. Takin are Himalayan mountain goats, so the exhibit will be a mixed-species space.

Sahak allows the Rosamond Gifford Zoo to help save his declining species through participation in a Species Survival Plan (SSP) overseen by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The zoo hopes to acquire a young female Mouflon in the future to form a breeding pair and become directly involved in this special breeding program.

The Rosamond Gifford Zoo is currently in charge of coordinating the Mouflon SSP breeding program, a release from the zoo says. The studbook is currently managed by one of the zoo's own primary Zookeepers, Seth Groesbeck.

Zoo Director Ted Fox explains, "Management of the SSP assures that the genetic lines are pure because, in the wild, the genetics of the mouflon are being diluted by interbreeding with other species of domestic sheep."

Sahak is being hand-reared and zoo-goers may see keepers bottle-feeding him on exhibit. His midday feeding takes place around noon. Watch as his keeper, Seth Groesbeck, feeds Sahak in the video above.

What will Sahak grow up to be?

Armenian Mouflon are generally a shade of brown with males having a dark ruff extending from the front of the lower neck to the chest, the zoo says. An adult Armenian mouflon can grow to about 3 feet tall with males generally being larger. Adult males average from 120 to 155 pounds.

How to see Sahak at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo

Visitors to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park in Syracuse can see literally hundreds of animals — about 730 representing roughly 200 species, not including insects. The animals are spread across 43 acres.

On each visit, you may see new animals — the zoo is constantly adding to its collection. It welcomes visitors year round.

Blogger Lapshin to stand trial in Azerbaijan

Blogger Lapshin to stand trial in Azerbaijan

 BAKU. June 13

The case of Alexander Lapshin, who is charged in Azerbaijan with
illegal crossing of the border for visiting Karabakh, has been
submitted to a court, the Azerbaijani media said.

"The files of the criminal case against blogger Alexander Lapshin were
submitted to the court. Alovsyat Abbasov, a judge of the Baku Grave
Crimes Court, was appointed the judge in his case," the media reports
said.

"The preliminary hearing in the case of blogger Lapshin will take
place on June 22," his lawyer Eduard Chernin told Interfax.

According to Baku, Lapshin, a citizen of Russia and Israel, illegally
visited Nagorno-Karabakh without obtaining official permission from
Azerbaijan in April 2011 and October 2012, thus violating the
provisions of the laws 'On the State Border of the Republic of
Azerbaijan' and 'On Passports'. Apart from that, Lapshin called for
the recognition of the independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
on social networking sites on April 6, 2016 and June 29, 2016.

Lapshin was included in the 'black list' for having visited
Nagorno-Karabakh without the consent of Azeri authorities. Such people
cannot enter Azerbaijan. However, Lapshin was able to enter Azerbaijan
through Georgia in June 2015, producing a Ukrainian passport with a
different spelling of his name.

The investigative department for grave crimes of the Azerbaijani
Prosecutor General's Office opened a criminal case on charges of
repeated public calls against the state and illegal crossing of
Azerbaijan's state border. A person convicted on these charges may get
a sentence of five to eight years in prison.

On December 16, 2016 it emerged that Lapshin had been detained in
Belarus at the request of Azerbaijan.

The Belarusian Supreme Court rejected Lapshin's appeal against his
extradition to Azerbaijan on February 7. He was extradited the same
day.
