Over the weekend, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev spoke out about the tragic plane crash that occurred last week. In an interview with state television, Aliyev revealed that the crash was not just an unfortunate accident, but rather a result of Russia's actions. According to Aliyev, the Azerbaijani airliner was struck by ground fire while flying over Russian territory, causing it to spiral out of control. He also mentioned that electronic warfare played a role in the plane's loss of control.
However, Aliyev made it clear that he does not believe the Russian government intentionally shot down the plane. Instead, he accused them of trying to cover up the truth for several days. It is a disturbing thought to imagine that such a disastrous event could be swept under the rug in an attempt to protect a country's image.
The crash, which took place on Wednesday, claimed the lives of 38 out of the 67 people on board. The Kremlin, on the other hand, has a different explanation for the incident. They claim that their air defense systems were firing near Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, in order to deflect a supposed drone strike from Ukraine. However, this explanation does not seem to align with Aliyev's account of the events.
In fact, Russian President Vladimir Putin even reached out to Aliyev to express his condolences and apologize for the "tragic incident." However, he stopped short of accepting any responsibility on behalf of Russia. This has only added to the frustration and sorrow felt by the families of the victims.
As the investigation into the crash continues, it is clear that there are still many unanswered questions. The loss of innocent lives is a devastating blow, and it is crucial that the truth is uncovered and justice is served.
