A Canadair plane carrying 21 people crashed on takeoff from Armenia’s
capital early today but there were no deaths reported, a civil aviation
authority spokesperson said.

The Canadair CRJ-100 was heading for Minsk, Belarus, when it flipped
over on the runway at Zvartnots Airport and burst into flames,
said Avtiom Movsissian. There were 18 passengers and three crew
members aboard.

The spokesperson did not immediately know the airline to which the
plane belonged.

The CRJ-100 is made by Montreal-based Bombardier Inc.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
