Customs officials deny the fact of the import, which suggests involvement of people in pursuit of their own ends rather than public interest,” she stressed. According to Pro Paws NGO chairperson Elsik Azizyan, at present proceedings against Nerum company have been instigated, referring the import of dolphins in Armenia.
