The Health Ministry today said a London laboratory had confirmed the 

presence of H5N1 avian flu in dead birds from Azerbaijan�s Caspian Sea 

coast.

Private television channels urged viewers not to prepare poultry dishes 

and broadcast descriptions of bird flu symptoms, while the Health and 

Agriculture Ministries appealed to people to avoid contact with foul and 

to isolate domestic poultry from wild birds.

* This country didn't have a folder. Could we have more folders? Maybe 

call it Central Asia, something for  all the countries with too many 

consonants - that no one can pronounce.
