Environmental Ministry Issues Warning: Do Not Approach Animals

The press secretary of the Minister of Environment, Ani Hakobyan, has written: "In recent days, photos and videos have been circulating on the internet showing noble deer approaching residential areas, sometimes even appearing in residential sections.

Dear citizens, we inform you that noble deer are wild animals whose behavior can be unpredictable, especially in the presence of humans or in noisy conditions. Their approach to residential areas may be driven by a number of natural factors, including changes in weather, scarcity of food resources, or certain changes in their habitat.

We urge you to exercise maximum vigilance and responsibility by adhering to safety rules in such cases. Please do not approach the animals and maintain a safe distance," wrote Ani Hakobyan, the press secretary of the Minister of Environment.
