Today www.aravot.am inquired of Ashot Aghababyan, a Republican Party
of Armenia (RPA) MP, how was the ostrich business going along, why he
hadn't fulfilled his campaign promise. Let us remind that he promised
to start an ostrich business in Ashotsk and Amasia. Mr. Aghababyan
replied, "They are drawing up the plan. We will start that business
at the beginning of next year." We asked to clarify whether it meant
that he hadn't forgotten his promise, Mr. Aghababyan replied, "It is
business, how can one forget it? Why should I forget it?"
In response to our observation that this campaign promise of his
had caused heated discussions and we were looking forward to its
fulfillment, Mr. Aghababyan stated, "The
thing is that the ostrich's genetics allows it to withstand up to
minus 40 degrees and above plus 40 degrees. Why not then?"
In response to our question whether it was better to breed ostriches
than cattle, the MP said yes, "Certainly, because it weighs almost as
much, it reaches 200kg in two years and moreover, it produces offspring
not once, but 120 times a year. Naturally, it is a good business."
We inquired why our government hadn't thought about that so far, he
was the first to talk about that business, Ashot Aghababyan said, "No,
we have a friend who keeps 300 ostriches in the Yeghvard district. He
has roughly 100 families and in one family, there are two females
and one male. So there are attempts, we will do it based on that."
