🇦🇿🇷🇺🇰🇿 – Azerbaijani President Aliyev:
“The Azerbaijan Airlines plane was shot down by ground fire. Russia attempted to cover up the truth about the plane crash. For the first three days, all we heard from Russia were absurd claims.
Was the plane deliberately sent to Aktau, or was it an objective choice? There are various speculations. Some believe the plane was intentionally redirected by ground services in Grozny because it had already become uncontrollable. There was a high probability that the plane would crash into the sea, which would have facilitated cover-up attempts and allowed the so-called bird strike theory to be presented as the primary explanation”.
