    TBILISI, May 4 (Itar-Tass) - Investigators from the Armenian Prosecutor
    General's Office agreed to participation of Georgian specialists
    in the probe into the Airbus A-320 crash near Sochi, head of the

    The Georgian aviation service offered "cooperation to the group of
    investigators from the Armenian Prosecutor General's Office in the

    He said Georgia "will hand over all the available materials to the
    investigation commission - the radiogram of the A-320 flight, the audio
    recording of talks between the Georgian air traffic controller and
    the plane crew and other materials necessary for the investigation."

    The head of Gruzavianavigatsiya met with the Armenian investigators
    in Tbilisi earlier on Thursday.

    There were 113 people on board the plane that met with an accident
    on the approach to Sochi on May 3. As of now, 53 bodies have been
    identified, including those of a crewmember and an airhostess.

    According to the information of the Russian Foreign Ministry, 26
    victims had Russian citizenship. There was a Ukrainian woman and a
    Georgian man among the passengers, spokeswoman for the prosecutor's
    office of the Krasnodar territory Yulia Vlasova told Tass, which was
    confirmed by the Ukrainian and Georgian embassies in Moscow.
