YEREVAN. May 24 (Interfax) – The flight recorders from the Armenian
Airlines Airbus A320 which crashed off the Russian coast near Sochi
on May 3 will be analyzed in Paris, Armenian Civil Aviation Department
press secretary Gayane Davtian told Interfax on Wednesday.
“Both black boxes will be brought first to Moscow, where they will
probably be examined, and possibly a documentary act will be drawn up,
and then to Paris for decoding,” Davtian said.
“The final decision on decoding the black boxes in Paris has already
been taken,” she said.
Civil Aviation Department flight safety division chief Gagik Galstian
will go to Paris from Yerevan as well, she said.
The analysis of the black boxes might take “two or three days,”
she said.
“However, if the black boxes are damaged, decoding might take much
longer,” Davtian said.
