YEREVAN, May 6 (RIA Novosti) – Armavia, Armenia’s national airline,
said Saturday it would lease three new Airbus planes after losing two –
one with 113 people on board – in three days earlier this week.

An Armavia-owned A-320 crashed into Black Sea in stormy weather
Wednesday with the loss of 105 passengers and eight crewmembers,
and another one was destroyed in a fire at Belgium’s Zaventem airport
early Friday.

The company said in a news release that the additions to its fleet
would only be “new aircraft.”

The release said the first A-319 produced in 2004 or 2005 would start
operating by May 15.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
