YEREVAN. – Armenia exports wild water animals to Europe. On Thursday the Government affirmed the certificates on the animals’ health condition. Some experts consider that by saying ‘wild water animals’ the Government means wild crayfish, but other experts do not agree with that.

The director of Armenian ‘Bird Lovers’ Union’ Silva Adamyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that in order to have wild water animals one must have a sea.

To note, in 2003 the Government was issuing those certificates for fish and fish products but now they are being handed out for ‘wild water animals’. To note, annually Armenia exports 800-1000 tons of wild crayfish to Europe.
