Il-76 plane lands in Antalya to pick up two injured Russians.
MOSCOW, June 15 (Itar-Tass) - A Russian Emergencies Ministry plane
landed in the Turkish resort town of Antalya late on Monday. It will
transport a five-year-old girl and a Russian tourist injured during a bus accident on May 25 to Moscow.
"An Il-76 transportation plane landed in Antalya at 23:09 on Monday,"
a spokesman for the Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations told
Itar-Tass.
"The plane is equipped with special medical modules in which the
doctors will be able to give all necessary assistance to the victims
during the flight," the spokesman went on to say.
A group of doctors from the Russian Emergencies Ministry and the
All-Russian centre for emergency medicine have arrived in Turkey.
A rock fragment in the mountains of Antalya hit the five-year-old
Zaliya Rakhmetova, a daughter of world rock-climbing champion Salavat
Rakhmetov.
She will be airlifted to Moscow onboard the Il-76 plane together with
a Russian tourist who was injured in a bus accident in Turkey on May 25.
Fifteen people died in the bus accident, including two Turkish
nationals - the bus driver and the guide.
. Tajik nationals may be linked to disturbances in Kyrgyzstan.
BISHKEK, June 15 (Itar-Tass) - Tajik nationals could be linked to mass
disturbances in southern Kyrgyzstan.
Kubatbek Baibolov, the first deputy chairman of the state National
Security Service of Kyrgyzstan, said on Monday that cars with tinted
glasses continued appearing in various places, shooting representatives of
both Kyrgyz and Uzbek ethnic groups.
"I am stating with full responsibility that this is ideological
sabotage and a provocation," Baibolov said in a statement that was
distributed in Dzhalal-Abad.
"These are specially trained groups consisting of ethnic Tajiks who by
reason of circumstances were left without means of subsistence," the
Kyrgyz deputy security chief went on to say.
Baibolov believes that the servitors of the family of deposed Kyrgyz
president Kurmanbek Bakiyev hired the criminal gangs. He says that Kyrgyz
law enforcers have "incontrovertible" evidence that will be made public
soon.
Baibolov also criticized some foreign media outlets for misleading
reports about the tragic events in southern Kyrgyzstan.
"The world press is abounding with one-sided and unauthentic reports
that ethnic cleansing and clashes between two ethnic groups are under way
in Kyrgyzstan," Baibolov emphasized. He believes that Kyrgyz and Uzbek
populations have got nothing to do with organizing the unrest.
Baibolov said that food, medicaments and other relief aid were being
distributed among the needy irrespective of ethnicity.
. US couple doesn't plead guilty to their Russian son's death.
NEW YORK, June 15 (Itar-Tass) - Michael and Nanette Cravers, the
adoptive parents of seven-year-old Russian orphan Vanya Skorobogatov, didn'
t plead guilty to his death at a court hearing on Monday.
Asked by the judge whether the defendants considered themselves to be
guilty, the Cravers' lawyer answered that they didn't. Both Michael and
Nanette kept silent.
At the same time, the prosecuting attorney confirmed his intention to
seek a 'death penalty' for the Cravers, given the boy's age and the misery
he had to tolerate while living with his adoptive parents.
The next court hearing on Vanya Skorobogatov's case is scheduled for
September 22.
Sergei Logachev, a counsellor of the Russian General Consulate in New
York, told Itar-Tass on Monday that the court was expected to announce the
final verdict on September 22.

MOSCOW, June 15 (Itar-Tass) - A foreign-made car has broken through
the Moskva River fence and fell into the water. One person died and
another was injured. The accident occurred near building 12 at the
Berezhkovskaya embankment.
"The BMW-X6 car, moving at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour from the
direction of the Sparrow Hills, jumped out on the wrong side of the road
and hit a motorcycle. The BMW broke through the fence on the bank of the
Moskva River, fell into the water and burst into flames," a Moscow law
enforcement source told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
Eyewitnesses say the blow was so strong that the car's wheel rim came
off. It hit a bus that was passing by.
"The motorcycle driver who was injured was taken to hospital," the law
enforcer went on to say.
The BMW driver died. Firemen who arrived at the scene suppressed the
flames. Rescuers are now pulling the BMW car out of the water.
