“The passengers and the aircraft are insured; it is an Armenian
company reinsured in London. Each family will get a compensation
of 20 000 USD,” declared the head of the “Armavia” company Michael
Bagdasarov who is in Sochi at present. He claims that the company
suffered moral and financial losses. According to his preliminary
calculation, the financial loss exceeds 10 million USD.

Mr. Bagdasarov assures that the “A – 320” airplane was in a proper
technical state; it was completely repaired in Belgrade in April
and was charged with 10 tons fuel before the flight. At present the
rescuers are still engaged in body and “record boxes” searchings. The
crash occurred at night of May 2. But the “record boxes” haven’t been
found yet.

RA Defence Minister Serge Sargsyan and RF Transportation Minister
Igor Levitin who is the head of the searching headquarters declared
that they will stay in Sochi by the time the “record boxes” are
found. Special equipment capable of realizing searchings at the depth
of 3 km was taken to the scene.

So far 50 corpses were found and 17 of them were identified.
