If the Terrible in a timely manner took measures to close the airspace of Russia over its territory, strictly observed the rules of ground services, and also ensured coordination between the armed forces and civil services of the Russian Federation, the tragedy could be avoided.
This was stated by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with family members of the deceased crew of the passenger aircraft Embraer 190 Azerbaijan Airlines, which crashed when performing the Baku-Groze flight and surviving flight attendants.
“I still do not intend to disclose all the materials of the criminal case, although they reported to me about the progress of his preliminary investigation and results. But I can say with confidence that the fault for the death of Azerbaijan citizens in this disaster lies with the representatives of the Russian Federation. We demand justice, punishment of guilty, complete transparency and humane attitude, ”the president emphasized.
According to the head of state, the transfer of “black boxes” to Brazil indicates the desire of Baku for objectivity.
“I already talked about this after the mourning ceremony of farewell to the crew. If we saw the attempts of Russian official structures to objectively investigate this tragedy from the first minutes or hours, we would most likely agree to the decoding of” black boxes “of the interstate aviation committee .
Aliyev recalled that this committee is investigating a plane crash in the territory of the former USSR.
However, when we saw attempts to hush up the matter and write off what happened on some birds or gas balls, of course, both me and the Azerbaijani public had serious doubts about the objectivity of the investigation of this structure. Currently, there is a decoding process ” Black boxes. “I am sure that in the near future we will learn preliminary results and everything will be in place. The full picture of the tragedy will be established. Of course, this will be an important moment in the case of a complete investigation of the disaster and holding the perpetrators accountable,” the head added state.
