President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev demands that those responsible be punished in the plane crash of an Embraer 190 plane flying from the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, to Grozny (Chechnya). He also insists on transparency in the investigation and “human conduct.”
Aliyev reported this during a meeting with relatives of the deceased crew members, reported by Russian media. This indicates that Baku was not happy with the change in rhetoric of the Russian authorities after the third conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
“I can say with confidence that the blame for the fact that Azerbaijani citizens died in this disaster lies with the representatives of the Russian Federation. And we demand justice, we demand punishment for the perpetrators, we demand full transparency and human behavior, Aliyev said,” the message said.
According to the leader of Azerbaijan, efforts government agencies of the Russian Federation “hush up” the plane crash, based on absurd versions, causes “surprise, pity and justifiable anger.”
Aliyev emphasized that ten days before the air parade a similar incident occurred when the AzAl airline board was flying to Grozny, but turned around halfway due to the closure of the airspace.
“If the city of Grozny had taken timely measures to close Russian airspace on its territory, if all the rules of ground services were observed and there was coordination between the Armed Forces and civil services of the Russian Federation, then this tragedy would not have happened“, Aliyev emphasized.
It should be noted that the process of deciphering the “black boxes” is being carried out in Brazil at the request of Azerbaijan.. Baku refused all offers on participation in the investigation of the Interstate Aviation Committee.
