DHAKA, Oct 19: Bangladesh has banned imports of poultry from four European countries to prevent an outbreak of bird flu in the country, Fisheries and Livestock Minister Abdullah Al Noman said on Wednesday.
The countries are Turkey, Greece, Romania and Russia.
Bangladesh last year banned poultry imports from 13 Asian countries after the disease spread through the region.
