Kazakhstan, Azernews reports.
According to the Ministry of transport of Kazakhstan's statement

of the black boxes. The commission comprises 17 international
experts from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Russia, who are set to

"The members of the commission are returning to Kazakhstan. Upon
arrival, the experts will immediately begin studying and analyzing
the decoded data of the black boxes," stated the Ministry of

On December 25, an Embraer 190 passenger plane belonging to
Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL), en route from Baku to Grozny, crashed
about 3 kilometres from Aktau airport. There were 67 people on
board (62 passengers and 5 crew members). Two crew members survived
the crash.
The crash led to widespread shock, and in response, Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev signed a decree declaring December 26 a day
of mourning in the country. He also issued state awards to honor
the heroism of the crew. The deceased crew members-Igor Ivanovich
Kshnyakin, Alexander Georgievich Kalyaninov, and Hokuma Jalil gizi
Aliyeva-were posthumously awarded the title of National Hero of
Azerbaijan, while the injured crew members-Zulfiqar Sardar oglu
Asadov and Aydan Vagif gizi Rahimli-received the Order of
"Rashadat" of the 1st degree.
On December 26, the bodies of four victims and 14 injured
passengers were repatriated to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani authorities
established a State Commission, led by Prime Minister Ali Asadov,
to investigate the causes of the crash.
