SOCHI, May 20 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's transportation minister, who is leading a government commission on the May 3 crash of an Armenian A-320 airliner, said Saturday he still hoped the plane's flight recorders would be found.
"We are eager to find them, but have not done so yet," Igor Levitin told journalists. He said various hi-tech equipment was being used in the search area where signals presumed to be from the flight recorders' radio beacons were detected.
All 113 people on board died when an Airbus A-320 operated by Armenia's Armavia flying from the Armenian capital, Yerevan, came down in stormy weather six kilometers (3.7 miles) from Adler airport, which services the popular Russian resort of Sochi.
