PROTEST ACTION IN TEHRAN

Relatives of the crashed TU-354 heading from Tehran to Yerevan on July 15 today staged a protest action in front of the Tehran-based Caspian Airlines Company. The protesters wanted to know the reasons for the crash, reports Tehran's Alik daily. Law-enforcers tried to disperse the protesters. Remind that the July 15 air crash took the lives of 168 passengers among them five Armenians. Ahmad Majidi, the head of a working group investigating the air crash, announced that it would take at least two months to discover the cause of the July 15 crash of the Russian-made Tupolev plane in northwestern Iran. The search teams have not yet found the plane's Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), an essential detail required for the investigation.
