    Frontier control point for imported foodstuffs and animals opened at
    Armenian-Iranian border

    On October 29, a frontier control point was opened at the
    Armenian-Iranian border in Meghri, as part of the World Bank program
    on struggle against avian influenza.

    Armenian Minister of Agriculture Gerasim Alaverdyan and World Bank
    Armenia Country Director Jean-Michel Happi participated in the
    official opening ceremony of the control point for examination of
    foodstuffs and animals imported to Armenia.

    Around $844,500 were invested for the control point building
    construction. The control point will have laboratories, offices of
    veterinary service and control service for foodstuffs safety, as well
    as storage areas. The conditions created in the building will allow
    examining any foodstuffs and animals, thus, preventing import of
    infected foodstuffs and animals.
