20 doctors have been working in the "Zvartnots" airport since 06:00
AM. They give medical assistance to about 100 relatives of the victims
of the air crash. Some of them were prohibited to fly to Sochi because
of health problems. "They realized they cannot get on the plane and
refused to fly themselves," doctor Svetlana Hayrapetyan said.
The doctors are on duty in the whole territory of the airport. During
each Yerevan-Sochi flight today at least three doctors accompany
the passengers.
MORE RELATIVES ARE LEAVING FOR SOCHI
The story of every victims of the A-320 plane crash is a separate
tragedy. 28 of the 113 victims were foreign citizens. Anahit
Khachatryan had come to Ararat from Adler to participate in the funeral
of her mother. His husband accompanied her. After living with their
relatives for four months they decided to go back home where they
had left their sons.
They were to return to Adler on May 1, but the flight was
postponed. Anahit Khachatryan's cousin who is going to Sochi to
recognize their bodies saw them off exactly 24 hours ago in the same
airport promising to visit them in the closest future.
A THIRD FLIGHT TO BE ORGANIZED
The wife of one of the aircrash victims, Albert Avetisyan, arrived
at the airport immediately after learning that she can leave
for Sochi. Her nephew was on board the plane together with her
husband. Of all the relatives only Albert Avetisyan's wife failed
to get a ticket. "They tell me they have no more tickets and no more
places on board", she said, with tears welled in her eyes.
By the way, having a ticket was not a guarantee to leave for
Sochi. "Armavia" did everything not to refuse the relatives of the
victims but it was clear that the places were not enough. "Armavia"
will have to organize a third flight which will probably take place
late in the evening.
