At the beginning of June the newly appointed head of Yerevan Zoo Ruben Khachtryan had handed the two black swans by contract to ‘’Opela’’ Ltd which had rented Lake Parz for 25 years for exploitation.
10 days later it turned out that the swans had died.
''We even weren't informed where the swans had been brought from. I only recently learnt that they had been in Lake Parz. However, I can say that the swans didn't experience symptoms of poisoning. The birds died because of stress'', said Aramayis Khachatryan, head of the diagnostic department of the veterinary laboratory of '' Veterinary antiepidemic and diagnostic center'' SNCO.
And he said he hadn’t copied!

And this is only the list of dead birds. In the meantime among other animals Asian leopard, African ostrich, two green iguanas, one deer, two Armenian moufflons, one ribbed hyena left the park.
