There were no Armenians on board of the plane that crashed in Iran, according to the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

77 people were reported to be killed in the air crash in Iran on January 9 night. Due to heavy fog, the crew could not land the Iran Air-owned plane which was carrying 105 passengers from Tehran to Urmia.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad extended condolences to the families of those killed.
