Aliyev noted that the first demand was “already fulfilled” when Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized to him on Saturday. 

Crashed jetliner was 'shot down' by Russia unintentionally: Azerbaijan president

Aliyev noted that the first demand was &ldquo;already fulfilled&rdquo; when Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized to him on Saturday.

Azerbaijan&rsquo;s President Ilham Aliyev said Sunday that the Azerbaijani airliner that crashed last week was shot down by Russia, albeit unintentionally, and criticised Moscow for trying to &ldquo;hush up&rdquo; the issue for days. &nbsp;&ldquo;We can say with complete clarity that the plane was shot down by Russia. (...) We are not saying that it was done intentionally, but it was done,&rdquo; he told Azerbaijani state television.
Aliyev said that the airliner, which crashed Wednesday in Kazakhstan, was hit by fire from the ground over Russia and &ldquo;rendered uncontrollable by electronic warfare.&rdquo; Aliyev accused Russia of trying to &ldquo;hush up&rdquo; the issue for several days, saying he was &ldquo;upset and surprised&rdquo; by versions of events put forward by Russian officials.
&ldquo;Unfortunately, for the first three days we heard nothing from Russia except delirious versions,&rdquo; he said.
The crash killed 38 of 67 people on board. The Kremlin said that air defence systems were firing near Grozny, the regional capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya, where the plane attempted to land, to deflect a Ukrainian drone strike. &nbsp;Aliyev said Azerbaijan made three demands to Russia in connection with the crash.
&ldquo;First, the Russian side must apologise to Azerbaijan. Second, it must admit its guilt. Third, punish the guilty, bring them to criminal responsibility and pay compensation to the Azerbaijani state, the injured passengers and crew members,&rdquo; he said.
Aliyev noted that the first demand was &ldquo;already fulfilled&rdquo; when Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized to him on Saturday. Putin called the crash a &ldquo;tragic incident&rdquo; though stopped short of acknowledging Moscow&rsquo;s responsibility.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian state media on Sunday that Putin had spoken to Aliyev over the phone again, but did not provide details of the conversation.
The Kremlin also said a joint investigation by Russia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan has begun at the crash site near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan. The plane was flying from Azerbaijan&rsquo;s capital, Baku, to Grozny when it turned toward Kazakhstan, hundreds of kilometers (miles) across the Caspian Sea from its intended destination, and crashed while making an attempt to land.
Passengers and crew who survived the crash told Azerbaijani media that they heard loud noises on the aircraft as it was circling over Grozny.
Dmitry Yadrov, head of Russia&rsquo;s civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia, said Friday that as the plane was preparing to land in Grozny in deep fog, Ukrainian drones were targeting the city, prompting authorities to close the area to air traffic. The crash is the second deadly civil aviation accident linked to fighting in Ukraine. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was downed with a Russian surface-to-air missile, killing all 298 people aboard, as it flew over the area in eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed separatists in 2014.
Russia has denied responsibility, but a Dutch court in 2022 convicted two Russians and a pro-Russia Ukrainian man for their role in downing the plane with an air defence system brought into Ukraine from a Russian military base.

Russia’s civil aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, said that preliminary information indicated that the pilots diverted to Aktau after a bird strike led to an emergency on board.

Azerbaijan observes day of mourning for air crash victims as speculation mounts over its cause

Russia&rsquo;s civil aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, said that preliminary information indicated that the pilots diverted to Aktau after a bird strike led to an emergency on board.

Azerbaijan on Thursday observed a nationwide day of mourning for the victims of the air crash that killed 38 people and left all 29 survivors injured as speculation mounted about a possible cause of the crash that remained unknown.
Azerbaijan Airlines&rsquo; Embraer 190 was en route from Azerbaijan&rsquo;s capital of Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus on Wednesday when it was diverted for reasons yet unclear and crashed while making an attempt to land in Aktau in Kazakhstan after flying east across the Caspian Sea.
The plane went down about 3 kilometres (around 2 miles) from Aktau. Cellphone footage circulating online appeared to show the aircraft making a steep descent before smashing into the ground in a fireball. Other footage showed part of its fuselage ripped away from the wings and the rest of the aircraft lying upside down in the grass.
On Thursday, national flags were lowered across Azerbaijan, traffic across the country stopped at noon, and signals were sounded from ships and trains as the country observed a nationwide moment of silence.&nbsp;
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that it was too soon to speculate on the reasons behind the crash, but said that the weather had forced the plane to change from its planned course.
&ldquo;The information provided to me is that the plane changed its course between Baku and Grozny due to worsening weather conditions and headed to Aktau airport, where it crashed upon landing,&rdquo; he said.
Russia&rsquo;s civil aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, said that preliminary information indicated that the pilots diverted to Aktau after a bird strike led to an emergency on board.
According to Kazakh officials, those aboard the plane included 42 Azerbaijani citizens, 16 Russian nationals, six Kazakhs and three Kyrgyzstan nationals.

A deadly crash of an Azerbaijani passenger jet in Kazakhstan's Aktau city, suspected to have been caused by a Russian missile strike, left 38 dead and 29 survivors. Investigations continue.

Russian Missile Likely Responsible for Azerbaijani Jet Crash, Killing 38

Azerbaijan Airlines initially said the plane flew through a flock of birds, before withdrawing the statement.

Azerbaijani and US officials believe a Russian surface-to-air missile caused the deadly crash of an Azerbaijani passenger jet, media reports and a US official said Thursday, as the Kremlin cautioned against "hypotheses" over the disaster.
The Azerbaijan Airlines jet crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau, an oil and gas hub, on Wednesday after going off course for undetermined reasons.
Thirty-eight of the 67 people on board died.
The Embraer 190 aircraft was supposed to fly northwest from the Azerbaijani capital Baku to the city of Grozny in Chechnya, southern Russia, but instead diverted far off course across the Caspian Sea.
An investigation is underway, with pro-government Azerbaijani website Caliber citing unnamed officials as saying they believed a Russian missile fired from a Pantsir-S air defence system downed the plane.
The claim was also reported by The New York Times, broadcaster Euronews and the Turkish news agency Anadolu.
Some aviation and military experts said the plane might have been accidentally shot by Russian air defence systems because it was flying in an area where Ukrainian drone activity had been reported.
A former expert at France's BEA air accident investigation agency said there appeared to be "a lot of shrapnel" damage on the wreckage.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, he said the damage was "reminiscent" of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which was downed with a surface-to-air missile by Russia-backed rebels over eastern Ukraine in 2014.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: "It would be wrong to make any hypotheses before the investigation's conclusions."
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
- Shrapnel strikes reported -
Euronews cited Azerbaijani government sources as saying that "shrapnel hit the passengers and cabin crew as it exploded next to the aircraft mid-flight".
A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said early indications suggested a Russian anti-aircraft system struck the plane.
Kazakhstan news agency Kazinform cited a regional prosecutor as saying that two black-box flight recorders had been recovered.
Azerbaijan Airlines initially said the plane flew through a flock of birds, before withdrawing the statement.
Kazakh officials said 38 people had been killed and there were 29 survivors, including three children.
Jalil Aliyev, the father of flight attendant Hokume Aliyeva, told AFP that this was supposed to have been her last flight before starting a job as a lawyer for the airline.
"Why did her young life have to end so tragically?" the man said in a trembling voice before hanging up the phone.
Eleven of the injured are in intensive care, the Kazakh health ministry said.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
- Day of mourning -
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev declared Thursday a day of mourning and cancelled a planned visit to Russia for an informal summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a grouping of former Soviet nations.
"I extend my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the crash... and wish a speedy recovery to the injured," Aliyev said in a social media post Wednesday.
The Flight Radar website showed the plane deviating from its normal route, crossing the Caspian Sea and then circling over the area where it eventually crashed near Aktau, on the eastern shore of the sea.
Kazakhstan said the plane was carrying 37 Azerbaijani passengers, six Kazakhs, three Kyrgyz and 16 Russians.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
- Bloodied survivors -
A Kazakh woman told the local branch of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) she was near where the plane crashed and rushed to the site to help survivors.
"They were covered in blood. They were crying. They were calling for help," said the woman, who gave her name as Elmira.
She said they saved some teenagers.
"I'll never forget their look, full of pain and despair," said Elmira. "A girl pleaded: 'Save my mother, my mother is back there'."
Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone conversation with Aliyev and "expressed his condolences in connection with the crash", Peskov told a news conference.

The aircraft’s planned route was northwest along the western Caspian Sea coastline. However, it veered significantly off course, flying over the sea and circling near Aktau before crashing approximately three kilometres (1.9 miles) from the city.

Disturbing Footage Reveals Crisis in the Skies: Azerbaijan Airlines Flight Crash Near Aktau Kills 38

The aircraft&rsquo;s planned route was northwest along the western Caspian Sea coastline. However, it veered significantly off course, flying over the sea and circling near Aktau before crashing approximately three kilometres (1.9 miles) from the city.

On Wednesday, Azerbaijan Airlines Flight J2-8243, an Embraer 190 jet carrying 62 passengers and five crew members, tragically crashed near the city of Aktau, Kazakhstan. The flight, en route from Baku, Azerbaijan, to Grozny, Russia, was diverted due to dense fog and multiple other challenges, ultimately leading to the disaster.
A Journey Gone Awry
The aircraft&rsquo;s planned route was northwest along the western Caspian Sea coastline. However, it veered significantly off course, flying over the sea and circling near Aktau before crashing approximately three kilometres (1.9 miles) from the city.
Preliminary investigations suggest the crash may have been caused by a combination of factors, including adverse weather, a possible bird strike, GNSS disruptions, and fuel mismanagement.
Harrowing Moments Captured
Disturbing footage captured by passengers and rescuers has surfaced, shedding light on the horrifying final moments.

The plane was flying from the Azerbaijani capital Baku on the western shore of the Caspian to the city of Grozny in Chechnya in southern Russia.
"A plane doing the Baku-Grozny route crashed near the city of Aktau. It belongs to Azerbaijan Airlines," the Kazakh transport ministry said on Telegram.
Azerbaijan Airlines, the country's flag carrier, said the plane had 62 passengers and five crew on board.
It said the plane "made an emergency landing" around three kilometres (1.9 miles) from Aktau.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev cancelled a planned visit to Russia for an informal summit of leaders of the Commonwealth of Independent States, a grouping of former Soviet nations.
The Kazakh transport ministry said the plane was carrying 37 nationals from Azerbaijan, six from Kazakhstan, three from Kyrgyzstan and 16 from Russia.
The office of Azerbaijan's prosecutor general said: "According to available data, 32 people survived the crash."
"We cannot disclose any investigation results at this time. All possible scenarios are being examined, and the necessary expert analyses are underway," it said in a statement.
"An investigative team, led by the deputy prosecutor general of Azerbaijan, has been dispatched to Kazakhstan and is working at the crash site."

The Kazakh emergency situations ministry said its staff put out a fire which broke out when the plane crashed.
The ministry earlier reported that "28 survivors including two children have been hospitalised."
It said 150 emergency workers were at the scene.
The health ministry said a special flight was being sent from the Kazakh capital Astana with specialist doctors to treat the injured.
Aliyev's office said the president "ordered the prompt initiation of urgent measures to investigate the causes of the disaster."
"I extend my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the crash... and wish a speedy recovery to the injured," Aliyev said in a social media post.
Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone conversation with Aliyev and also "expressed his condolences in connection with the crash," his spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a news conference.
Azerbaijan's first lady Mehriban Aliyeva, who is also the country's first Vice President, said she was "deeply saddened by the news of the tragic loss of lives in the plane crash near Aktau."
"I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims. Wishing them strength and patience! I also wish a speedy recovery to the injured," she said on Instagram.
"I express my condolences to the relatives of the passengers of the Azerbaijan Airlines jet who died," Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said on Telegram.
The plane's course on Flight Radar showed it crossing the Caspian Sea away from its normal route and then circling over the area where it eventually crashed.
Kazakhstan said it had opened an investigation.
