    ARMENIAN FISH MUST NOT FALL INTO OLIGARCHS' NET

    ArmInfo. Fish breeding in Armenia must not become the private domain
    of oligarchs, Artsvik Minasyan, Armenian parliamentarian from ARF
    Dashnaktsutyun, said in parliament, Tuesday.

    "Today the republic's economy needs to be diversified, that is to say,
    it needs development of new spheres. Fish breeding may become one of
    these spheres, for which there are big opportunities in Armenia. Over
    the past 10 years fish breeding in our country has considerably
    grown and currently makes up about 5 thsd tons a year. According to
    experts, it is possible to increase this index to 300 thsd. However,
    the development of this field needs strict control, as fish breeding
    remains one of the few fields, which are not under the oligarchic
    system's control yet. We'll shortly present a package of proposals
    on development of this sphere",- said Minasyan.

    At present there are 250-270 fish breeding entities in Armenia. About
    5.8 thsd tons of fish worth a total of 8.4 bln AMD were bred and
    caught in 2009.
