Azerbaijan, Russia Agree on Resolution After 2024 AZAL Aircraft Crash


(MENAFN) Azerbaijan and Russia announced on Wednesday that they have reached an agreement regarding the “appropriate settlement of the consequences” of the December 2024 crash involving an Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) flight in Kazakhstan.

A joint statement issued by the foreign ministries of both countries said the arrangement, which includes compensation payments, follows an understanding reached between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their meeting in Dushanbe in October of the previous year.

“The steps undertaken confirm the mutual intention to build further mutually beneficial cooperation within the framework of allied interaction,” the statement said, adding that the incident was caused by the unintended activation of an air defense system in Russian airspace.

The statement further expressed confidence that strengthening bilateral relations will continue to support good neighborly ties and expand cooperation in ways that benefit both nations.
