The only dolphinarium in Yerevan is being demounted as there are no
conditions in Armenia for keeping dolphins, Silva Adamyan, head of
Bird-lovers center NGO, told a news conference Monday.
In 2012 the dolphinarium~Rs work was suspended not because they were
on tour performance but because the dolphins were unable to continue
the performances. ~SThe dolphins need sea water to live while in
Armenia the pools were filled with common drinking water with sea
salt being added,~T she said.
~SWe have found out from US scholars that it is not enough for dolphins
and they need sea water,~T she said, adding that when the dolphinarium
was just being built in Yerevan, the US scholars warned that in such
conditions the dolphins will survive for maximum two years.
Adamyan said the demounting of the dolphinarium after two years proved
the opinion of scholars right.
She said Armenia~Rs Nemo dolphinarium has never gone for tour
performances. ~SOur Ukrainian partners told us that the dolphins were
taken back to Ukraine and new ones were brought but they could not
take it long. Now they are in Qatar for rehabilitation,~T she said.
