In an interview with Azerbaijan Television, President Ilham Aliyev addressed the unresolved questions surrounding the causes of the AZAL-owned plane crash near Aktau.

Axar.az reports that this was stated by the President.

“Let me repeat that after the flight recorders are examined and we obtain more detailed information, the full picture of what happened will be revealed, and many questions that remain unanswered today will be clarified. For example, why couldn’t the plane land in Grozny? To what extent did the electronic warfare systems affect the plane’s controls? What was the extent of the damage caused by the strike and the explosion near the plane? I must also emphasize that attempts to deny obvious facts or mislead people in this matter are both nonsensical and absurd.”

It should be noted that on December 25, an Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) plane operating the Baku-Grozny flight was hit by Russian air defense systems over the skies of Grozny and sustained serious damage. Since permission for landing was not granted, the aircraft headed towards Aktau, where it crashed near Aktau airport. As a result of the crash, 38 out of 67 people on board lost their lives, while 29 survived.
