In your link you certainly haven't provided anything that even resembles more than a

Noah's Arch Not on Mount Ararat - Experts
Sofia News Agency, Lifestyle: 26 March 2005, Saturday
Noah's Arch Not on Mount Ararat - Experts - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency
This is a classic example of how "negative" news gets buried on the last page, much less reported at all. Had they found Noah's Ark, it would have been headline news. However, few news organizations even consider not finding Noah''s Ark as being newsworthy enough to put on their web pages.
The Sofia News Agency article stated:
"The expedition was organized by the Kosmopoisk research center and the Unknown
Planet Television company."
Maybe, we able to see soon on the Discovery, or some other cable TV channel, people climbing all around Mt. Ararat and not findng anything when the Unknown Planet Television Company releases a documentary on their misadventures.
Another article, which I found was:
Le Figaro Recommends Mount Ararat for French Mountaineers

It looks like that Mount Ararat is or soon will be crawing with mountaineers of all sorts, now that the Turkish Kurds have made some sort of peace with the Turkish government. With all of these tourists equiped with all sorts of cameras and rock picks climbing all over Mount Ararat, it will be difficult to explain the lack of any hard evidence of any Ark fairly soon.
Of course, the hard core creationist can always claim that French tourists took Noah's Ark all apart and took it home as souvenirsof their summer climb on Mount Ararat. :-) :-) Someday, we might be able to even buy pieces of the Noah's Ark collected by these mountaineers on Ebay. :-) :-)
