Azerbaijan does not consider the crash of the AZAL plane in Kazakhstan as a deliberate attack, said the head of the republic Ilham Aliyev.

"Azerbaijan does not consider this as a deliberate attack. We only demanded recognition of what happened, punishment of the perpetrators and full compensation," Fox News quoted Aliyev as saying.

On December 25, 2024, a plane crash involving an Embraer-190 aircraft occurred near the city of Aktau in western Kazakhstan. The board was heading from Baku in Terrible. According to the carrier, there were 62 passengers and five crew members on board. The number of survivors was 29 people. According to the Russian Embassy, nine citizens of the Russian Federation are among the rescued. In total, there were 16 Russians on the lists.

Aliyev reported on the preparation of documents for filing a lawsuit in international courts against Russia in connection with this incident.

On February 4, the Ministry of Transport of Kazakhstan published a preliminary report on the investigation of the Embraer 19 plane crash. The document says that the initial inspection of the preserved fragments revealed a lot of through and through damage of various sizes and shapes in the tail section of the fuselage, keel and stabilizer, elevators and rudders. What caused their appearance and who is responsible for the crash of the plane, the report does not say. The final report was promised to be submitted by the end of 2025.
