President Ilham Aliyev starkly accused Russia of responsibility for the recent crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines flight, insisting that only an apology and acknowledgment of guilt from Moscow would suffice to maintain amicable relations.
Amid growing tension, President Aliyev stated that the vague apology from Russian President Vladimir Putin does not meet Azerbaijan's expectations for accountability regarding the tragedy that claimed 38 lives.
Aliyev emphasized the necessity of a formal apology from Russia, the acknowledgment of guilt, and accountability for those responsible for the crash in Kazakhstan, clarifying Azerbaijan's position on the matter.
International aviation experts, along with Azerbaijani and U.S. officials, have strongly suggested that the passenger aircraft was downed by a Russian missile, a claim that the Kremlin has not accepted.
