OWNER OF ARMAVIA IS SURE THAT THE INCIDENTS IN BRUXELLES AND SOCHI
ARE A MERE COINCIDENCE

Yerevan, May 6. ArmInfo. Owner of ArmAvia company Mikhail Bagdasarov is
sure that the accidents in Sochi and Bruxelles are a mere coincidence.

To be reminded, ArmAvia started functioning in 2001. In 2002it became
an ally with ‘Sibir’ air company, Russia. In 2006 ‘Mika Armenia
Trading’ purchased the share of ‘Sibir’ and become the holder of 100%
ArmAvia shares.

In an interview to Gazeta.ru Mikhail Bagdasarov stated that at
present his company is to rent two more airplanes, produced in 2005
and 2004. Commenting on the statement by Sabena Technics that the A320
liner crashed in Sochi had never been in Bruxelles, Bagdasarov stated
that ArmAvia can provide documents witnessing how many time a year the
A320 was repaired in Bruxelles. He also said that there are also Sabena
Technics representatives in Yerevan, who realize scheduled testing and
particular repair. More complicated works are done in Bruxelles. It
is widely known that all the airplanes are to be tested before going
on a flight, otherwise they are not admitted, said Badgasarov. He
said that the burned A320 had been staying in Bruxelles under repair
for a month and the accident seems rather strange to him. He assured
that the author pf the abovementioned Sabena Technics statement was
either incompetent or gave false information on purpose.
