Unfortunately, we have not received any response from Russian officials regarding the plane crash. 7 months have passed since the incident. Everything is clear to us. We know what happened. Russian officials also know. We have demands regarding the plane crash.

Axar.az reports that President Ilham Aliyev said these words at a meeting with participants of the III Shusha Global Media Forum.

The head of state said that first of all, the Russian leadership should admit the incident: "Those who shot down the plane must be punished, compensation must be paid to the families of the victims. AZAL itself must also be compensated. Do you want to hear more details? I can talk. Our pilots showed courage and professionalism. The plane made an emergency landing. Thanks to the pilots, there were survivors. The plane was shot down from the outside. The information about the plane's collision with a Ukrainian drone was laughable. This is a fairy tale at the kindergarten level. The plane was attacked twice. We know what happened. Russian airspace was not closed. The airspace was closed after the plane was shot down.

We have not received an answer for 7 months. Our Prosecutor General is writing to the Russian investigative commission. The answer is that the investigation is ongoing. We are waiting. This does not mean that we can forget about it. We will appeal to the international justice system. We know that this takes a long time. An investigation was conducted for 10 years after the Malaysian plane was shot down. We believe that justice will prevail in this matter."
