    Tehran, 3 May: Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi here
    Wednesday [3 May] expressed condolences to the government, people
    and families of victims of an Armenian plane crash in the Black Sea.

    According to reports, an Armenian Airbus A-320 carrying 113 passengers
    and crew crashed in the Black Sea near the south Russian seaside
    resort of Sochi in heavy rain on Wednesday killing all on board.

    The plane took off from the Armenian capital Yerevan and had been on
    flying for about an hour when it crashed. Most of the casualties were
    Armenian nationals.

    A spokesman for the Russian Emergencies Ministry said rescue workers
    had found baggages, life jackets, body parts, shattered plane parts
    and patches of oil floating on the surface of the sea at the crash
    site. At least 16 bodies had been found by 04:25 gmt.

    Asefi expressed the Iranian government's and nation's deepest sympathy
    with the Armenian people, government and bereaved relatives of victims.
