The authorities of the aggressor country russia have refused to give any comments on the incident with the passenger plane Embraer 190 of the Azerbaijan Airlines, which crashed on December 25 as a result of a russian anti-aircraft missile strike.
This is evidenced by the comment of the press secretary of the russian dictator Dmitry Peskov, his words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to him, moscow allegedly has no right to comment on the official conclusions of the investigation into the plane crash.
"And we do not consider ourselves entitled to give any assessments to the conclusions that will be drawn based on the results of the investigation and will not do so," Peskov said.
He added that russia has its own aviation authority, which has the right to make any assessments. Peskov was referring to Rosaviatsiya.
It should be noted that, according to Rosaviatsiya, the cause of the plane crash was allegedly a collision with a flock of birds. At the same time, holes were found on the plane's skin, which were left by the striking elements of the anti-aircraft missile.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on December 26, Euronews channel wrote, citing sources in the Azerbaijani government, that the Embraer 190 plane crashed as a result of being hit by an anti-aircraft missile fired from a russian air defense system.
And according to the Azerbaijani news channel AnewZ, the russians refused to land the damaged plane at three of their airports. Instead, they recommended that the crew fly to Aktau in western Kazakhstan, near which it crashed.
Recall, the Azerbaijani parliament called on the russian federation to admit its involvement in the plane crash and apologize for the incident.
