PLAGUE RESULTS IN DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS

Social

Nowadays frozen pork is of a greater demand in Yerevan. After revelation of cases of the African plague in Lori and Tavush, Yerevan citizens prefer frozen pork to fresh pork which, in their opinion, is less dangerous.

“I prefer frozen pork as it is safer. No matter how hard they try to persuade us that the pork sold at markets is not dangerous, I don’t believe their words as one can trust no one and nothing in our country,” said Hrachya Nazaryan, a Yerevan resident.

Grigor Baghyan, the Head of the Veterinary Department of the RA Ministry of Agriculture, informed A1+ that the African plague is not contagious. Nevertheless, A1+ came to know that markets don’t sell pork.

“People prefer to buy beef and mutton, therefore we have little pork on sale,” said butcher Karen.

Grigor Baghyan, assures that in case people eat infected pork, “they won’t suffer and no bacteria will appear in their organisms. They might simply have problems with digestive tract.”
