Most likely, Ilham Aliyev himself will pay the compensation. Then they will say that “Russia paid this compensation”. These games no longer work.JAMnews (@JAMnewsCaucasus)Russia and Azerbaijan said they had resolved the consequences of the 2024 crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines passenger jet, including agreeing on compensation, according to a joint statement by the two countries’ foreign ministries.
The statement said the sides had “settled the consequences” of the Dec. 25, 2024 crash in line with agreements between President Vladimir Putin and President Ilham Aliyev, but gave no details on the compensation arrangements.
Moscow and Baku said the Embraer 190 aircraft operated by Azerbaijan Airlines crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau as a result of the “unintentional action of an air defence system” in Russian airspace.
“The steps taken confirm the mutual intention to further build mutually beneficial cooperation within the framework of allied interaction,” the statement said, adding that both sides expressed confidence in continued development of ties based on “mutual respect, trust and consideration of interests.”
The two countries also extended condolences to the families of the victims.
The crash killed 38 people, with 29 survivors. The aircraft had been en route from Baku to Grozny before going down.
Media reports at the time, citing sources in Azerbaijan, said the aircraft was hit by Russian air defences and that pilots were denied permission to land in Russia before being instructed to fly across the Caspian Sea toward Kazakhstan.
The incident had strained relations between Moscow and Baku, particularly after Russia stopped short of fully acknowledging responsibility. Putin later admitted the plane had been damaged by Russian air defence systems.— https://x.com/JAMnewsCaucasus/status/2044687244011970785
