The russian federation fired on the Azerbaijani Embraer 190 airliner, killing 38 civilians. Baku adopts a very tough stance
Azerbaijan’s official position on the investigation of the crash of the passenger Embraer 190 airliner was as tough and straightforward as possible. It is known that Embraer 190 was flying from Baku to Grozny on December 25, and was shot down, apparently, by a Pantsir SAM system.
The president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has stated that the plane was shot at from the ground. On Monday, January 6, during a meeting with the families of the crew members who died while saving the passengers, he directly accused russia of this crime.
In particular, Azerbaijan managed to have the “black boxes” transferred to Brazil, the country of origin of the Embraer 190 aircraft. Thus, Baku did not allow russia to study them. Although the Kremlin has been promoting its intention to conduct the investigation under the auspices of the Interstate Aviation Committee, headquartered in Moscow, whose members include most of the former Soviet republics.
At the same time, Baku accused the Interstate Aviation Committee of bias and raised a question: why the closure of the airspace over Grozny was announced after the shooting of the Azerbaijani plane. The president of Azerbaijan stated that this “points to very serious issues with the evidence of the crime”, and “attempts by russian state structures to hush up this incident and insist on absurd versions cause us both surprise, regret and outright indignation”.
Aliyev also reiterated the key findings of the preliminary investigation: the plane was affected by russian electronic warfare, after which it was damaged by fire from the ground. There is another question of why the plane was sent to Aktau in Kazakhstan, 440 kilometers from Grozny across the Caspian Sea. The answer to this question should be obtained from the flight recorders.
Moreover, Azerbaijan is demanding that the perpetrators, namely russian citizens, be punished. Moreover, the circle of culprits has already been outlined: the ground services and the russian military.

This was the right thing to do. No way should the terrorists get anywhere near those black boxes, but I don’t trust Brazil much. Let’s not forget that Brazil are part of the BRICS group.
A reminder: terror boss Girkin was found guilty of mass murder by the Dutch, but no claim for reparations has been made even 10 years later. Why?
And why is Poland still silent about the Smolensk massacre, even though traces of explosives were found?
Because the West is pussified?
That’s an insult to pussies. 😂
Wimpified?
I know … that’s an insult to wimps. 🤓
Neutered, maybe? 😂
No matter what you say, you insult someone. 😄
