On August 18 the hunting season starts in Armenia. The hunters will
not only have a chance to hunt but also to boast on their adventures
all year round. The president of the Union of Hunters of Armenia
Grigor Grigoryan says Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan is fond of such
talks. According to him, the head of the police Haik Harutiunyan is a
good shooter. In Armenia hunters certainly have to pay. A wild boar
is the most expensive, 50 thousand drams, said Arthur Beglaryan, an
inspector of the Ministry of Environment. He says 25 thousand hunters
are registered in Armenia. For breaching hunt regulations civilians
will be fined 30 to 80 thousand drams, officials will be fined 50
to 100 thousand drams. For his part, the president of the Union of
Hunters complained of restrictions on the hunt on wolves. He evoked
the Soviet times when the government encouraged hunt on wolves.
