Despite the environmentalists' protests, the birds registered in the
Red Book are on sale in the Yerevan pet market.
Head of the Center for Bird Lovers NGO Silva Adamyan told ArmInfo that
there is no control over the sale. Notwithstanding the application
to the Armenian Ministry of Nature Protection, the efforts of the
environmentalists to resolve this problem have given no results.
She added that the rare species are also illegally taken abroad to
be sold, as these birds cost much there. Such information is often
received from the citizens of foreign states, Adamyan said. She
pointed out that a peregrine costs 50 thsd EUR abroad.
