I believe that the Russian side is not to blame for the crash of A320
of Armavia Airlines near Sochi, stated Aram Karapetyan, the leader
of the Nor Zhamanakner Party (New Times) on May 19. Before May 17
Aram Karapetyan would have accepted the impression and opinion that
there is reluctance to retrieve the black boxes of the aircraft from
the sea. “However, something happened the day before yesterday, and
now the Russian government will do everything to retrieve the black
boxes and decipher.” Aram Karapetyan will tell later what made Russia
to adopt such a fundamental decision. He will simultaneously publish
the findings of his personal investigation. Presently, he can only
give some information: “I can state clearly that there are no phrases
of abuse for Armenians in the talks with the dispatchers.

It is bad to politicize the plane crash. The Russian side acknowledges
that the question will be manipulated unless the black boxes are
retrieved. No one from the Russian side has stated that 8 tons of
fuel was collected from the sea surface. The black boxes will allow
finding out the truth.”

Aram Karapetyan says it is surprising that after the crash the
defense minister of Armenia left for Sochi instead of the minister of
transport or the Attorney General. The leader of the Nor Zhamanakner
Party thinks that even if there had been an arrangement to hide the
real cause of the crash, “it was a deal between two people, not an
official approach of Russia’s.”
