In a statement from the Azerbaijani Prosecutor General, it is stated that Baku has been informed that "intensive measures are being taken" in Russia to identify those responsible and hold them accountable.
It was on Christmas Day that the plane from Azerbaijan Airlines crashed in western Kazakhstan, a crash that took nearly 40 people's lives.
Much points to a Russian air defense missile being behind the accident, since the plane suffered extensive external damage when it attempted to land in Grozny. The landing attempt took place at the same time as the Russian air defense was activated, as Grozny is one of the places attacked by Ukrainian combat drones.
Despite the pilots' distress call, the plane was not allowed to land, but was ordered to fly over the Caspian Sea to Aktau in Kazakhstan. But it didn't make it and crashed three kilometers from Aktau.
On Saturday, the Kremlin announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin had apologized for the "tragic event" that occurred over Russian territory, but without Russia taking responsibility for the event.
