自從上週禽流感擴散至亞塞拜然後,其他高加索地區已對此病毒的入侵感到憂心不已,雖然在亞塞拜然尚未有任何人類感染致命H5N1病毒的官方通報,但當地民眾已開始拒吃雞隻;而持反對黨立場的報紙「Yeni Musavat」,更透過刊載三人已死於禽流感的報導,以及譴責政府隱瞞事實,加深了民眾的恐懼。
Bird Flu Hits the Caucasus
Since bird flu reached Azerbaijan last week, the rest of the Caucasus has been gripped by anxiety about the virus. Although no cases of human infection with the deadly H5N1 virus have been officially confirmed in Azerbaijan yet, people have stopped eating chicken. The opposition newspaper "Yeni Musavat" heightened fears by reporting that three people had already died of bird flu, accusing the government of concealing the facts.
