    YEREVAN

    During today's session of the Armenian government issues connected
    with the prevention of the penetration of the swine flu into the
    republic have been discussed. The Armenian Health Minister Harutyun
    Kushkian noted that in this respect there is no epidemic situation
    in the republic.

    A consultation has been held in the republic on prevention of the
    disease. At present quarantine is announced in the "Zvartnots" and
    "Gyumri" airports, all those who arrive in Armenia are checked and
    everything is done to prevent the penetration of the disease. According
    to H. Kushkian the Armenian Health Ministry has all the necessary
    medicaments stored against the disease. The Armenian Agriculture
    Minister Aramayis Grigorian noted that yet there is no attempt of
    prevention of the disease, but everything is done so that the announced
    quarantine in the bordering checking stations has a great efficiency:
    all the cargos imported to Armenia are disinfected. According to
    the Minister form April 26 the import of pork into Armenia has been
    restricted especially from countries where cases of disease have
    already been registered. As from the swine meat the disease can
    also transfer to the bird meat therefore it is also suggested to
    restrict the import of bird meat. The Armenian Emergency Situations
    Minister Mher Shahgeldian suggested conducting checking of disease in
    airplanes as well. The Head of Government-affiliated State Revenue
    Committee Gagik Khachatrian noted that the Committee must regularly
    be informed from where and when it is necessary to suspend the import
    of meat so that the importers are on time informed about it and not
    conduct expenditures in vein. According to Armenian Prime minister
    Tigran Sargsian if different states who have registered a disease
    have suspended the import of meat, Armenia must also conduct serious
    steps towards prevention of penetration of the disease to the republic.
