urgent, as Armenia has limited land areas and crematories help to
avoid possible epidemics, head of hygienic and epidemic department of
Ministry of Healthcare Aida Petikyan told the journalists on
Wednesday.
"Corpse burning process is not common in Armenia. It is related to the
mentality and traditions. However, state needs great deal of money to
establish crematories," she told and added though it is possible to
bury another corpse 15 years later, crematories will be more helpful
to avoid epidemics.
Another speaker of the conference chief specialist of the epidemic
infectious and non infectious diseases department Liana Torosyan told
that classical version of the funeral can always cause dangerous
situations by spreading various infections through flies.

Christian countries. However, Armenian Apostolic Church is strictly
against crematories and rejects to accept that practice.
