Although the first case of bird flu was recorded in Abkhazia a week ago, the Georgian authorities exclude the possibility of a mass outbreak of bird flu in the country. According to the specialists, the virus has penetrated into the country from Krasnodar, RF, where a case of the illness was recorded several days ago.

According to the head of the RA veterinary administration Grisha Baghyan, since the very first days of the outburst of the bird flu epidemic Armenia has been carrying out prophylactic procedures.

On January 29 the import of bird meat from several countries has been halted.

“The situation is under control in Armenia. The cases in the neighboring country have made us more alert”, he says. According to him, bird meat is no more imported to Armenia from Azerbaijan, Japan, Hungary, Cambodia, Indonesia and several other countries.
