    Armenian veterinary surgeons have developed a program on "Fight
    against Plague" and submitted it to the government, veterinary science
    inspection head, Grisha Baghyan, told Panorama.am. Baghyan hopes
    that the executive will approve the program in its Thursday session
    already. Before the program will become effective, the veterinary
    surgeons have taken preventive measures in hot spots of the plague,
    Lory and Tavush region - they are disinfecting the surroundings
    and killing pigs. "In some villages we have killed dozens of them
    eliminating them from the village totally," Baghyan said.

    Yesterday information was disseminated that pigs infected with plague
    have been detected in one of Yerevan pigsties. Asked if that may be
    "African Plague," Baghyan said no final laboratory checks have been
    made. "It is not excluded that it is the same "African Plague,"
    Baghyan said.
