    YEREVAN. - Armenia has unique animals-such as the Armenian
    Mouflon-which cannot be found anywhere else, but dozens of foreign
    organizations hunt mouflon in Armenia, which is prohibited, "Lawful
    Hunting Club" social initiative leader Eduard Saribekyan stated during
    a press conference on Tuesday.

    In his words, the Armenian Mouflon lives in Iran, too, but they do
    not hunt it there because it is an endangered animal.

    "Social activeness is very important here. Where is that society
    which doesn't fight against such things?", Saribekyan added.

    He stressed that they are very small in number, and, since the hunters
    are better equipped, they are larger in number, and, in addition,
    they are drunk, and very often they are compelled to turn a blind
    eye to the unlawfulness.

    He also noted that when they raise an alarm with the competent
    authorities, the latter say they do not work on Saturdays, in the
    case when game are primarily hunted on Saturdays.
