    SPECIALISTS IN CRIME DETECTION CLAIM MOST PROBABLE CAUSE OF A320'S
    CRASH WAS INTERFERENCE OF BRUTE FORCE

    The New Times Party gathered yesterday representatives of all other
    anti-crime parties and unions for a social discussion. Though there is
    no official theory of the May 3 crash of Armenian A320 airline and the
    investigation is still in process, the specialist in crime detection
    are trying to incline the society to the last crash theory that is
    widely circulating in the media these days. This theory claims that
    the cause of the surprising crash was interference of brute force and
    activities of a criminal group inside the plane. This allegation was
    presented by Vladimir Poghosian, former pilot of naval aviation. In
    his opinion, there was a scuffle at the VIP lounge of Zvartnots
    Airport prior to the flight. But it remained within the airport
    walls. The Flight Security service was unaware of the scuffle. The
    Passengers' luggage was not properly checked either. The clash did not
    vapor aboard the plane. The situation on the plane prevented the
    pilots to take sound decisions, and the plane ran out of
    control. Besides, the pilots disregarded warnings of bad weather
    conditions in Sochi airport.

    In Aram Karapetian's words, the Russian mass media confirms the theory
    of brute force interference. The Russian media reports that before
    plunging into the Black Sea a few passengers called their friends and
    relatives saying that there was a fight even shooting on the plane.

    Arshak Nalbandian, head of the Flight security Service of Armavia Air
    Carrier, completely rejected this theory saying that the crew was in
    normal working state. A flight attendant was gaily speaking and
    laughing with the pilots a few minutes prior to the crash. Therefore
    he rules out that there was a skirmish on the plane. He said that he
    had not signed the preliminary conclusion of the International
    Aviation Committee that places the blame on the crew.

    The specialists in crime detection suggested setting an independent
    commission of experts that will carry out its own investigation.
    Vladimir Poghosian reminded that the opposition's such proposal was
    turned down as the National Assembly had an order from above. Thus,
    there is someone who will be in disadvantage once the commission is
    created. He also stated that he has facts proving his theory but will
    make them public only after a commission is set. Arshak Nalbandian
    added that Armavia is for creation of such a commission.
