    Armenia has called in specialists from the International Food and
    Agriculture Organization (FAO) to assist in measures seeking to stem
    the spreading of the potato moth from the rural community of Darakert.

    The moth has already caused extensive damage to the potato and tomato
    crop in the area.

    Deputy Agricultural Minister Robert Makaryan told reporters today that
    the moth had already spread to neighboring villages but failed to name
    them.

    Makaryan did not mention how the moth, common and widespread in the
    warmer parts of the Pacific region, turned up in Armenia's Ararat
    Province.
