Plague barracks: an Azerbaijani plane shot down by the Russians shuffled all the cards on the Caspian Sea

Exclusive. The press secretary of the Russian dictator, Dmitry Peskov, responded to a question about the statement of the deputy of the Parliament of Azerbaijan, Rasim Musabekov, who demanded an apology from Moscow for the downed plane of Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL). In short, "there is nothing to comment on," and the end is in the Caspian Sea.

The Kremlin saw the messages of the deputy of Azerbaijan, but there is nothing to comment on, Peskov said. "I repeat once again, I have nothing to add to what I have already said," he noted. "The investigation of this aviation incident is ongoing, and we do not consider ourselves entitled to make any assessments regarding the conclusions drawn as a result of the investigation, and we will not do so," the Kremlin representative emphasized. "Also, we have our aviation authorities who can do this and some information can only come from them. We do not consider ourselves entitled to comment on this," said Dmitry Peskov.

The Russian side should apologize for the downing of an AZAL airliner by an anti-aircraft missile, said the day before the deputy of the Parliament of Azerbaijan, Rasim Musabekov. "The plane was shot down on the territory of Russia, in the sky above Grozny. And it is impossible to deny it," said the deputy, who is a member of the committee on international relations and inter-parliamentary relations of the Majlis of Azerbaijan. Instead of "acting adequately to the situation and apologizing," in Russia "some people are committing certain actions in the media to cover their tracks." "Those who committed this must be brought to criminal responsibility, compensation must be paid for the loss of life and the victims. If this is not the case, relations will certainly flow into another plane," the Azerbaijani parliamentarian added in particular.

And while the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation has "nothing to say", the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, revels in his own impunity.

On December 38, the day after the tragedy that claimed the lives of 26 people, the head of Chechnya awarded the medal "For services to the Chechen Republic" to his own nephew Khamzat, who is the secretary of the Security Council of Chechnya. On the morning of December 25, Khamzat Kadyrov announced in stories that all UAVs that attacked Chechnya had been shot down. "The information that the drones hit some object is not true, everything has been shot down!", he wrote, and later on the same day it became known that the Azerbaijan Airlines plane flying from Baku was unable to land in Grozny and crashed in Kazakhstan.

The cause of the plane crash near Kazakhstan's Aktau was a Russian surface-to-air missile, the publication reported Euronews and agency Reuters with reference to sources in the government of Azerbaijan. The missile was fired at the liner during drone flights over Grozny, and its shrapnel struck the passengers and crew members, exploding next to the liner in mid-flight.

Interlocutors of Euronews reported that, despite the pilots' requests for an emergency landing, the damaged plane was not allowed to land at Russian airports and was ordered to fly across the Caspian Sea in the direction of Aktau - in the hope that it would crash and end up in the sea. According to the received data, the plane's GPS navigation systems were disabled on the entire flight path over the Caspian Sea.

The government commission of Kazakhstan is conducting the investigation, and Russia has issued threats against the republic. The editor-in-chief of the Russian propaganda cesspool "Russia Today" Margarita Simonyan said that she would be happy to send troops to Kazakhstan "to deal with some barmales." "I would be happy if we could afford [to fight] in Ukraine, and in Syria, and, if we are called again to deal with some barmales, in Kazakhstan," she said. Russia made a fatal mistake, released the plane outside its own jurisdiction and missed the opportunity to falsify data and hide the real cause of the tragedy, and is pouring out threats.

Meanwhile, on Friday, December 27, the airline "Azerbaijan Airlines" announced the suspension of flights in seven cities of the Russian Federation "until the completion of the preliminary investigation of the Embraer 190 plane crash and taking into account the risks to flight safety." Kazakhstan airline Qazaq Air has canceled flights between Astana and Yekaterinburg for a month. The Israeli airline El Al announced the cancellation of flights from Tel Aviv to Moscow "due to the situation in Russian airspace."

The "besieged fortress" mode turns into the "plague barracks" mode. After the tragedy with the Azerbaijan Airlines plane and the increasingly strange behavior of Russia, the only correct solution is to minimize contacts with toxic territory.
