    YEREVAN. - Armenian police officers did not let dairy products traders
    from Gegharkunik region Chambarak community to travel to Yerevan on
    Tuesday. The resident contacted Armenian News-NEWS.am with request
    to sort out the problem.

    "The police said they have put Chambarak in quarantine and have
    clear orders not to permit the villagers' dairy products to Yerevan,"
    the resident said.

    Armenian News-NEWS.am contacted Head of the State Service for Food
    Safety at the Ministry of Agriculture public relations office, to
    clear out the facts about quarantine.

    "Although laboratory studies showed there is no threat of murrain
    in Gegharkunik region and in the country as a whole, the quarantine
    announced in early June is still in power for safety reasons. However,
    if the villagers have a corresponding document from veterinarian they
    are free to sale their goods in the capital," official from the State
    Service for Food Safety explained.

    Cases of murrain infections were registered in Azerbaijan in spring.
