Azerbaijan Blames Russia for Airline Disaster, Demands Justice
President Aliyev, meeting with families of victims and survivors of the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crash, stated that the investigation’s initial findings place blame for the tragedy on Russian Federation representatives. He asserted Azerbaijan’s demand for justice, punishment of those responsible, and full transparency in the process. While withholding full details of the ongoing criminal case, the president emphasized the Azerbaijani government’s commitment to accountability.
