Baku blames Putin for downing its aircraft
The Free Press Journal|December 30, 2024
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has accused Russia of firing at an Azerbaijan Airlines passenger jet before it crashed and of initially trying to cover up the cause of the fatal disaster, demanding that Moscow admit guilt. Aliyev made the accusation in an interview to state media at Baku airport four days after the AZAL plane crashed in Kazakhstan, killing 38of the 67 people on board.
