    77 ARMENIAN AND 28 RUSSIAN CITIZENS WERE ONBOARD THE CRASHED ARMAVIA PLANE

    Yerevan, May 3. ArmInfo. 77 Armenian citizens and 28 Russian citizens,
    mostly of Armenian origin, were onboard Armavia's A-320 plane which
    crashed 5 km of Sochi this night, says the head of the chief department
    of civil aviation of Armenia Artem Movsissyan.

    A total of 113 people were onboard, with the bodies of only 18 ones
    found to date.

    Movsissyan says that the plane took off from Yerevan 01:47 AM.

    Because of bad weather over Georgia the captain decided to go back
    to Yerevan, but the controller said that the weather was improving
    and the plane could land in Sochi. 03:15 AM the plane disappeared.

    According to the preliminary information, the plane crashed because
    of bad weather, but the final answer will be given only after the
    investigation. Movsissyan says that before the flight the plane was
    in normal technical condition and its 10 tons of fuel were enough
    for coming back to Yerevan - from Yerevan to Sochi a plane consumes
    only 3.5 tons of fuel. Movsissyan says that A-320 was produced in
    1995 and was insured.

    Today the Armenian President called a meeting and gave instructions to
    relevant services. One more Armavia plane with relatives and experts
    onboard flew to Sochi today morning.
