The reason for the crash of a TU-154 plane flying from Tehran to
Yerevan on 15 July is still not know, a representative of the Caspian
Airlines, which operates the flight, has told Armenian privately-owned
pro-government Armenia TV on 15 July
The reasons are unknown, we can say nothing officially until the
flight recorders are recovered, the unnamed representative of the
Caspian Airlines in Armenia said.
"There are no official lists yet, but the plane has crashed and the
probability of people to have remained alive is very little," he said.
"The information regarding [passengers'] citizenship is being clarified
with the help of frontier guards in Tehran. They said it would be clear
in an hour or an hour-and-a-half. There is nothing on the reasons,
nothing - no theories, no statements. We are now clarifying the lists
of who was the citizen of what country and so on," the official said.
"There were 151 adults, two children and 15 crew members on board,"
he said, adding that a headquarters had been set up in Tehran to
investigate the accident.
