Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev declared that the Azerbaijani airliner was unintentionally shot down by Russia, criticizing Moscow for suppressing information about the incident.
Aliyev detailed that the airliner was struck from the ground in Russia, attributing its loss of control to electronic warfare and expressing frustration over the Russian government's response.
He reiterated three critical demands to Russia: an apology, acknowledgment of guilt, and compensation for victims, highlighting that Putin's recent apology partially addressed these concerns.
In response to the crash, Putin labeled it a 'tragic incident' but refrained from accepting full accountability, stating that an ongoing investigation would clarify the circumstances.
