BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 25. The commission's
task is to fully investigate the matter, examine the causes of the
crash and all its details, and provide information both to me and
to the Azerbaijani public, said President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during a meeting at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in
connection with the airplane crash, Trend reports.
"This morning, I was flying from Baku to St. Petersburg to
attend the CIS Summit when I was informed of this tragic incident
during the flight. I immediately gave instructions for the plane to
return to Baku. While still in the air, I issued the necessary
directives, spoke with the Prime Minister, and initiated the
formation of a commission under his leadership.
In addition, a team of Azerbaijani representatives was
dispatched to Aktau, where the crash had occurred. Further
instructions were given to send medical teams from Azerbaijan to
Aktau as quickly as possible.
The commission's task is to fully investigate the matter,
examine the causes of the crash and all its details, and provide
information both to me and to the Azerbaijani public. According to
the information provided to me, the AZAL airline plane, flying on
the Baku-Grozny route, changed its course due to worsening weather
conditions and began heading toward Aktau airport, where the crash
occurred during landing. There are videos of the plane crash
available in the media and on social networks, and everyone can
watch them. However, the reasons for the crash are not yet known to
us. There are various theories, but I believe it is premature to
discuss them. The matter must be thoroughly investigated. A
criminal case has been launched by the Prosecutor General's Office,
and naturally, the Azerbaijani public will be regularly informed
about both the results of the commission's work and the progress of
the criminal case," President Ilham Aliyev said.
