/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The fragments of A-320 plane, which fell into the
sea not far from Sochi, are searched for along the coastline from the
border of Abkhazia to Golovinka village of Krasnodar Territory. Thus,
the search zone makes some 60 km. Specialists believe the fragments
could not be taken farther.

The sea bottom is examined by means of the sonar of Captain
Beklemischev research ship and Kalmar deep-water device. Russian
and Armenian specialists, as well as those of A-320 producer Airbus
Industrie Consortium work at the location. The flight recorders are
not found yet. The Ministry of Extraordinary Situations specified that
there is no equipment at the place, by means of which these could be
lifted if found.

The Russian party earlier expressed readiness to address foreigners
for lifting the flight recorders, if corresponding means are not
available in the country, reports RIA Novosti.
